MECH6406 - Fundaments of Polymers and Soft Matter

This graduate-level course covers the fundamentals of polymers and other soft matter, which are increasingly under consideration for emerging engineering applications such as lightweight, soft robotics, biomedical devices, smart materials, and flexible electronics. It presents the various classifications (polymers, gels, foams, biological media etc) of soft matter, and their fundamentals, their common synthesis routes, their associated structure-processing-property relationships, and their engineering applications.

MECH3409 - Machine Element Design

Introduces methodology for mechanical design of components. It discusses topics including design for static and dynamic loads, failure analysis. fatigue, component design and selection for materials and machine elements, e.g. threaded joints, springs, gears, belt, chain, bearings, etc.
