Industrial Automation and Robotics Courses You May Take

Thermal Systems Design: This course covers analysis, modeling and design of thermal systems involving applications of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and engineering economics. The student will complete an engineering project involving design of a thermal or energy system considering realistic engineering constraints, component selection, system modeling and simulation and life-ycle economic analysis.

Advanced Structural Dynamics: Structural dynamics is an upper level engineering course covering fundamental topics on the analysis of single and multiple degree of freedom civil engineering systems under dynamic loading, ground accelerations, and blast loadings. The formulation of the second order ordinary differential equation of motion will be discussed and a variety of mathematical techniques used to solve accelerating inertial systems will be discussed: some topics include Laplace and Fourier transforms, convolution integral, modal and spectral matrices, Rayleigh Ritz method, and the central difference method for numerical analysis. An introduction to spectral analysis and earthquake design will also be discussed, which includes concepts in pseudo acceleration and equivalent lateral design loads for base shear. Although this course focuses on structural engineering applications, the basic principles and techniques learned here can be applied to other types of vibrating systems: aerospace vehicles, satellites, vibrating machinery, etc.

Construction Graphics Communication: Study and practice of communicating through manual and digital graphics. Emphasis on developing hand-printing and hand-sketching abilities; reading civil, commercial, and industrial construction documents; developing three-dimensional building information modeling (BIM) ability; and using these concepts to perform construction estimating and layout.

Construction Planning and Scheduling: Basic construction project management and scheduling procedures. Work breakdown structure, critical path method, and scheduling logic. Activity durations, status reports, resource allocation, and control. Covers elements of construction ethics and safety.

Construction Cost Estimating and Analysis: Basic construction project management and scheduling procedures. Work breakdown structure, critical path method, and scheduling logic. Activity durations, status reports, resource allocation, and control. Covers elements of construction ethics and safety.
