Analyze open channel flows, quantify wastewater flows, and design sanitary sewer systems. Proper design of sanitary sewer systems is essential for managing the collection and disposal of wastewaters and thereby maintaining a healthy community.

Learn the fundamentals of RF design for modern communication systems. This 1-credit-hour, 5-week course covers the fundamentals of RF design. It is designed as a first course for students or engineers with a limited background in high-frequency electronics.

Learn the methods of reliability analysis and reliability-driven design of mechanical and electronic systems. The course is aimed at providing an engineering view (as opposed to a purely statistical view or a management view) of reliability analysis as well as reliable product design.

Analyze and design water distribution networks and select pumps for applications. Water distribution networks are crucial for supplying water for residential areas, hospitals, educational institutions, industrial zones, commercial areas, and for firefighting purposes.

Learn how deep learning algorithms can be used to solve important engineering problems. This 3-credit-hour, 16-week course covers the fundamentals of deep learning. Students will gain a principled understanding of the motivation, justification, and design considerations of the deep neural network approach to machine learning and will complete hands-on [...]

Learn fundamental concepts of beam-column behavior and design, frame stability analysis, and second order analysis methods for design. Differentiate between the effective length and direct analysis methods for design. Beam-column and frame stability analysis is an important component of all structural [...]

Learn fundamental concepts of buckling analysis and design of structural members for stability concerns for beam and column elements. Buckling can be a controlling limit state for many structural elements. This course will cover the intersection of buckling and member design – specifically the behavior of columns and beam [...]

Learn elastic stability concepts including methods to evaluate stability including bifurcation method and energy methods. Learn the differential equations governing behavior of structural members, and use them for column buckling analysis. Stability is a critical design limit state for structural members and [...]
