Notes
Fluid mechanics is critical for applied physical sciences, even though
it is a classical physics subject, but not well covered in the traditional
physics curriculum
This course deals with basic elasticity, bending, torsion, buckling of
elastic columns, stress and strain, material properties etc.Same
reason as above.
This course deals with thermal conduction, convection, radiation, heat
transfer with flowing fluids, thermal boundary layers. Same reason as
above.
General course work in Physics, and Diff. Eg.
Basic tech elective in Acoustics
ECE 201, ME 274,
ME 375
These are basic courses in feedback control systems an
essential tool in the hands of experimental physicists.
