PHYS101x serves as an introduction to mechanics following a standard first semester university physics course. This course teaches fundamental concepts and mathematical problem [...]

Fundamentals of optomechanics. Basic principles, recent developments and applications. Optomechanics is the study of the interaction between light and mechanical systems which can result in the manipulation of the state of both light and the mechanics. The nature of this interaction gives rise to a wide range of applications [...]

Study the foundational mechanical engineering subject “Strength of Materials”. In this course you will learn to analyze multi-axial states of stress and strain, selecting “objective” failure criteria, and to predict linear elastic structural response using energy methods.

Explore materials from the atomic to the continuum level, and apply your learning to mechanics and engineering problems. All around us, engineers are creating materials whose properties are exactly tailored to their purpose. This course is the first of three in a series of mechanics courses from the Department [...]
