Advanced methods for solving problems in computational fluid dynamics. Topics include: discretization approaches, implicit solution techniques, curvilinear coordinate systems, and upwind schemes.

Numerical algorithms useful in biostatistics including likelihood maximization using the Newton-Raphson method, EM algorithm, numerical integration using quadratic and Monte-Carlo methods, interpolation using splines, random variate generation methods, data augmentation algorithm, and MCMC and Metropolis-Hastings algorithm; randomization tests; resampling plans including bootstrap and jackknife will be studied.

Two hours lecture and two hours lab each week. A parametric, feature-based, solid modeling 3D computer-aided design course for mechanical design.

LAB. 2. Pr. INDD 2120. Introduction to CAD software emphasizing three-dimensional modeling. Students will learn drawing functions. Concepts of three-dimensional relationship of objects discussed.

Topics include design process, mathematical presentation of wireframe/ surface/solid modes, transformation and manipulation of objects, finite element analysis, data exchange, process planning, fundamentals of multi-axis NC programming for turning and milling processes, fundamentals of CAD/CAM systems, CNC code generation by CAD.CAM software for the CNC, and waterjet machines. Prerequisites: Instructor approval.

Continuation of MET 201. Topics include dimensioning, reflecting, polygons, arrays, utilities, sectioning, hatching, arcs, isometrics, rotating, attributes, filing, enhanced lines. Upon completion of this course a study will be able to draw and dimension isometric views, sectional views, and other views as necessary to clearly and completely describe an object using two- dimensional microcomputer techniques.
