Buildings can produce less greenhouse gas emissions while being more energy efficient, comfortable, healthy, and economical through the proper application of sustainable design, construction and operation principles. In this course, students are introduced to environmental issues associated with buildings as well as concepts of performance indicators. Also, students are exposed to the fundamental knowledge of modeling methods and simulation tools used in performance-based building design, and operation. This sets the ground for an in-depth discussion of performance prediction for energy demand and the use of building simulations in life cycle analysis for the selection of energy-efficient building components and systems.

This is an introductory course to computational methods for fluid dynamics. Following a preface to numerical simulation and a review of the governing equations for mass, momentum, and energy, the structure and mathematical behaviors of partial differential equations will be discussed, which are classified as hyperbolic, parabolic, and elliptic types. A discretization scheme to approximate the mathematical models, the finite-difference method, is described along with the analyses for the resulting errors and stability, followed by strategies of allocation and transformation of grids. Some simple CFD techniques will then be illustrated, in terms of various schemes suited for different categories of PDE’s. Various methods of discretization other than the finite-difference approach, such as finite-volume method and finite-element method, shall be briefly mentioned if time is available. Part I: Fundamentals of mathematical and physical models 1.Philosophy of computational fluid dynamics(83dc) 2.The governing equations for fluid dynamics(83dc) 3.Mathematical behavior of partial differential equations Part II: Numerical approaches 4.Basic aspects of discretization 5.Grids with appropriate transformations 6.Numerical methods for hyperbolic PDE: wave equation 7.Numerical methods for parabolic PDE: heat equation(83dc) 8.Numerical methods for elliptic PDE: Laplace’s equations College of Engineering Main Campus Kuo-Long Pan 40 Tuesday 3,4,5 ME5141 (522EU2960) 3 (College of Engineering) Graduate Institute of Mechanical Engineering,

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a 3-unit half-year elective course on intermediate to advanced level conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer directed towards graduate students and undergraduate upperclassman audiences. This course also serves as one of the required subjects of the qualifying exam for Ph.D. students in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Heavy course load is to be expected. Three major topics are to be discussed in this class. They are: 1. Steady and unsteady 1D and multidimensional conduction heat transfer. 2. Laminar/turbulent forced and natural convection heat transfer of internal and external flows with additional focuses on boiling and condensation phenomena. 3. Radiation heat transfer for black, gray diffuse, and gaseous bodies. Our discussions for each of the topics are to be directed towards two directions: 1. Classical mathematical and analytical techniques. 2. Modeling and approximation methods. Active class participation and discussions are greatly encouraged. 1. To understand the underlying physics and mechanisms governing the conduction, convection, and radiative heat energy transfer processes in general engineering systems from a macroscopic continuum point of view. 2. To acquire the classical mathematical tools and techniques required in analyzing conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer problems. 3. To develop physical intuition and insights towards heat transfer problem solving so that general complex engineering heat transfer problems can be described by simple physical models and solved with minimum mathematical efforts, i.e., “back of the envelope calculations.” College of Engineering Main Campus Engineering Mathematics, Elementary Thermodynamics, Elementary Heat & Mass Transfer Huang, Hsin-Fu 40 Thursday 7,8,9 ME5150 (522EU3740) 3 (College of Engineering) Graduate Institute of Mechanical Engineering,

This is an introductory to finite elements offered by the Department of Civil Engineering. The finite element method has been coined as the most useful numerical method for solving engineering problems governed by partial differential equations. The contents are vast and the commercial programs are sophisticated. It is thus impetus (and sometimes difficult) to cover the important aspects of the method. This course is offered to guide you through the basic of the method and help you to acquire hands-on experience on programming the method. Learn the basic theory and formulation for finite elements (FE) with hands-on experience on FE programming (MATLAB).

The purpose of this course is to provide basic knowledge needed for managing high-tech facility constructed project. High-Tech includes, not limited to, the advanced technologies applied in the fields of microelectronics, optoelectronics, precision equipment, telecommunication, nanotech, pharmaceutics, biotech, medical devices, animal experiment, and Aerospace. The construction processes undertaken in high-tech manufacturing plants require special clean-build protocols with extremely tight schedule, stringent quality and safety control as well as using 3D CAD for effective communication among all the participants. The focus of this course is on managing the construction of high tech fabrication plant (fab) and engineering its facilities for life-cycle operation. Students will gain methodologies needed to meet ever-changing challenge of delivering an ultra pure and fast moving semiconductor and related Fabs such as wafer, LED, TFT, and/or Photovoltaic. In addition, this course will strengthen student’s understanding and background in managing high-tech fab engineering project and integrating its interdisciplinary nature.
