Courses

EML 3041 Computational Methods 

Techniques to solve engineering problems using numerical methods and digital computers. Topics include roots of equations, simultaneous linear equations, numerical integration and differentiation, and curve fitting.

EML 3035 Programming Concepts for Mechanical Engineers

Introduce Maple (starting Fall 2007 Matlab) as a programming/mathematical tool.  Topics include fundamentals of programming, controlling program flow and arrays.

EML 6232 Introduction to Composite Materials

"Do not give them any more straw to make bricks with, as your custom has been; let them go and find straw for themselves" (Exodus 5). Although man-made composites have existed for thousands of years, the high technology of advanced composites has been used in the aerospace industry only for the last thirty years. The applications are becoming diverse ranging from aircraft structures and missile canisters to tennis racquets and fishing rods. The objective of this course is to analyze and design fiber reinforced composite materials.
