Mechanical Engineering
Description: Introducing modeling principles and the distinction between physical modeling and mathematical modeling. Using dimensional analysis and similarity, and their application to experimental design leading to physical modeling, Deriving governing equations from first principles leading to mathematical modeling. Analyzing one, two, three and multi-dimensional systems in engineering, the presentation of the solutions on a phase diagram. Investigating bifurcations, linear stability, and numerical solutions. Co-convened with ME 556. Letter grade only.
