ICAI-SAPIENS Spring Academic Program for International ENgineerin... 1 de 2 https://www.iit.upcomillas.es/icai/sapiens/frame.php Spring Academic Program for International ENgineering Students ICAI-SAPIENS Description ICAI-SAPIENS is a program designed for engineering students interested in getting international experience without missing technical courses required for graduation with their classes. We offer a set of engineering courses, and a set of Spanish Culture and Language courses. Engineering courses are taught in English, while the students get immersed in the Spanish Culture through spanish language courses and leisure activities with classmates. Location All courses are held at Universidad Pontificia Comillas. We are located in the center of Madrid: Calle Alberto Aguilera 25 28015 Madrid, Spain Calendar Courses are offered during the Spring Term in a US-compatible calendar: Mid-January through Mid-May (including exams). Introduction to Sustainable Energy is a one-week intensive course in June. About Courses Courses offered in this program are meant to be equivalent to major subjects in a standard U.S. Engineering sophomore year. Students in this program can also register for any of the courses of ICAI School of Engineering, either in English or in Spanish, upon checking for schedule compatibility. (See List of ICAI courses for information on additional courses). Fundamental Engineering Courses [DMA-SAP-130] Introduction to Differential Equations Techniques and applications of ordinary differential equations, including Fourier series and boundary value problems, linear systems of differential equations, and an introduction to partial differential equations. Covers a typical math 2xx course plus linear systems. Intended for engineering majors and other who require a working knowledge of differential equations. 4 h/week This subject was pre-approved by Univ. of Illinois-UC as an equivalent to MATH 286 [DMA-SAP-131] Applied Linear Algebra Introductory course emphasizing techniques of linear algebra with applications to engineering; topics include matrix operations, determinants, linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, inner products and norms, orthogonality, equilibrium, and linear dynamical systems. 4 h/week This subject was pre-approved by Univ. of Illinois-UC as an equivalent to MATH 415 [DIM-SAP-131] Thermal Physics First and second laws of thermodynamics including kinetic theory of gases, heat capacity, heat engines, introduction to entropy and statistical mechanics, and introduction to application of free energy and Boltzmann factor. A calculus-based approach for majors in engineering, mathematics, physics and chemistry. 2 h/week This subject was pre-approved by Univ. of Illinois-UC as an equivalent to PHYS 213 [DIM-SAP-132] Quantum Physics Interference and diffraction, photons and matter waves, the Bohr atom, uncertainty principle, and wave mechanics. A calculus-based course for majors in engineering, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. 2 h/week This subject was pre-approved by Univ. of Illinois-UC as an equivalent to PHYS 214 [DIM-SAP-133] Introduction to Dynamics Kinematics and dynamics of the three-dimensional motion of particles; kinematics and dynamics of the plane motion of rigid bodies; methods of work energy and impulse momentum; moving reference frames. 4 h/week This subject was pre-approved by Univ. of Illinois-UC as an equivalent to TAM 212 [DEA-SAP-135] Introduction to Electric and Electronic Circuits The goals are to impart the fundamental principles of electric circuits, semiconductor devices, and electronic circuits that constitute the foundation for preparing a non-major to take follow-on courses involving electric and electronic circuits. 5 h/week (3h Theory + 2h Lab) This subject was pre-approved by Univ. of Illinois-UC as an equivalent to ECE 205 (theory) + ECE 206 (lab) [DIM-SAP-136] Thermodynamics Engineering Thermodynamics is concerned with energy transformation and utilization. The key of the subject is the analysis of any energy process, determining the variation of the thermophysical properties of the fluids involved and applying energy, entropy and exergy balances. Basic air-conditioning processes are also studied. Examples and study cases about heat to mechanical/electric power conversion are analysed. 3 h/week This subject was pre-approved by Univ. of Illinois-UC as an equivalent to ME 300 Spanish Culture and Language Courses [IIM-SAP-130] Intensive Spanish Course Intensive Spanish for Exchange Students course, held the first two weeks of January (Jan 8th - jan 20th). 20 h (1 week) 06/05/2014 17:47 ICAI-SAPIENS Spring Academic Program for International ENgineerin... 2 de 2 https://www.iit.upcomillas.es/icai/sapiens/frame.php [IIM-SAP-131] Semester Spanish Course Standard Spanish for Exchange Students course, following the Intensive version. 3 h/week [DOI-SAP-130] Spanish Culture through Films The course has been designed to provide students with an overview of recent Spanish culture as depicted in several movies. It also aims at providing students with an understanding of culture as a site for the construction of meaning and identity. 4 h/week Other Language courses Spanish culture and history through the Cinema. 3 h/week Elective courses on Engineering Technologies [DIM-OPT-432] Nanotechnology The new frontiers of materials, chemical and biological research. Oriented to give the basic principles of nanotechnology and nanomaterials, without requiring quantum physics knowledge, and to swipe through the applications and the future possibilities in the field. 2 h/week [DEA-OPT-431] Automotive Electronics Electronics in vehicles. Modern electronics systems implementation. 2 h/week [DIM-OPT-433] Automotive Engines Basic Engine design: components and systems. Basic thermodynamics. Otto, Diesel, Atkinson and Miller cycles. Engine performance modeling and prediction. Link between ground vehicle and engines. Aerodynamic Drag, grading resistance and rolling resistance. Exhaust Emissions (tail pipe).Hybrid and Electric vehicles. 2 h/week [DEA-OPT-430] Satellite Navigation Fundamentals and Applications Despite its short life, Global Satellite Navigation is an essential technology that combines state-of-the-art results from different fields of engineering and science. This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of satellite positioning and its main applications. With a multidisciplinary aim, the course is addressed to university students with general knowledge in maths and/or physics (first year engineering, maths, physics, or similar). 2 h/week [DOI-OPT-434] Energy Economics: Primary Sources, Electric Power Systems and Market A panoramic on the power systems organization, both technical and economical, across the world. 2 h/week Research Project Research projects with ICAI professors, offered each year (availability varies). 1 ECTS per 20 hours of research. 40 or 80 hours Introduction to Sustainable Energy The course provides an integrated introduction to the current state of the global energy situation based primarily on fossil fuels, and a view of the alternatives looking forward. It focuses on the primary mechanisms of several key sustainable technologies and analyzes energy systems from systems engineering and engineering economics point of view.
