Select Graduate Coursework (NCSU)

Mechanics of Composite Structures (MAE-537)

Material properties of fiber reinforced composite materials are derived from both micro-mechanical and macro-mechanical perspectives. Classical plate theory, failure theories, buckling and vibration of laminated plates are covered. Manufacturing techniques and experimental testing procedures are also introduced. 

Composite Materials Processing (TE-589)

A wide range of topics will be covered that will allow engineering students to correlate materials and processing methods to final composite part characteristics and costs. The course will include raw material production and properties, materials selection guidelines, product development, manufacturing techniques, finishing processes and materials evaluation techniques, as they pertain to fiber reinforced composite materials.

Engineering Design Optimization (MAE-531)

Terminology, problem formulation, single and multiple design variables, constraints, classical and heuristic approaches, single and multiobjective problems, response surface modeling, and tradeoffs in complex engineering systems. Numerical optimization algorithms and computer-based implementation of these optimization techniques. Graduate standing in engineering and general coding skills recommended. 

Fundamentals of Product Design (MAE-526)

Many tend to think of product design as more of an art than a science. However, the growing body of research in the engineering design community provides approaches for navigating the design of consumer products using interdisciplinary design tools and rational decision making. This course introduces students to scientific engineering design techniques that are more effective than “ad hoc” tactics. By exploring how engineering principles integrate with “real world” design challenges, students will learn how they can more effectively solve product design problems that encompass heterogeneous markets, multiple disciplines, and large-scale complex systems.

Two-course entrepreneurship sequence focusing on opportunities for technology commercialization. Evaluation of commercialization of technologies in the context of new business startups. Emphasis is placed on creating value through technology portfolio evaluation and fundamentals of technology-based new business startups. This includes development of value propositions and strong technology-product-market linkages. The process based approach is appropriate for new business startup as well as entrepreneurship in existing organizations through spinoffs, licensing, or new product development. More topics include industry and market testing of assumptions, legal forms of new business startups, funding sources and creating a quality, integrative new business startup plan.
