Courses

Classical lamination theory, analysis and failure of reinforced composite material systems, anisotropic elasticity, stress analysis and design of laminated composites including 3D effects, stress concentrations, free-edge effects, hygrothermal behavior, adhesive and mechanical connections.

Basics and intermediate mechanics of deflection of beams and columns, mechanics of impact, failure theories, plastic deformation of materials, fracture mechanics, fatigue, creep and vibration. The topics will be supported by industry relevant case studies. Suggested prerequisites included Mechanics of Solids (CE 220) and Mechanical Behavior (MSE 382).

Advanced study and practice using evolving technologies in layout and design of newspapers, electronic publications and digital media.

Theories and practical application of production in broadcast and digital media.

This course is designed to mentor advertising and public relations students with an interest in media strategy to participate in the Washington Media Scholars Foundation (WMSF) competition. The WMSF Media Plan Case competition is a national, multi-round competition where student teams of 2 develop a media plan to address a case scenario based on real-world data. Teams compete for a portion of scholarship monies as well as an all expenses paid trip to Washington, DC in June to present their work.

Practical applications of evolving technologies and digital reporting techniques in journalism and strategic media.
