Speical Topic Courses
Special Topic Course On Application Of Machine Learning In Mechatronics
Course Description
This course is an introduction for the development and implementation of Machine Learning algorithms in mechatronic systems. The proposed course will combinetheory and practice to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to work on analysis and design of complex monitoring, diagnostics and control systems. Students understand a wide variety of machine learning techniques including supervised and unsupervised learning, as well as how to evaluate models generated from data. Lastly, they implement their developed algorithms to a real-world problem in mechatronics including but not limited to diagnostics, monitoring or control systems problems.
Prerequisites:
MSE 310 and MSE 352
Instructor:
Dr. Mohammad Narimani

Special Topic Course on Ocean Technology and the Marine Environment
Course Description
This Course focuses on different types of ocean technology and how they interact with the Marine Environment. The generalized hydrodynamic equations of motion allow for analysis, simulation and design of ocean technologies; these includes the hydrostatics and stability of floating bodies, added mass, added damping and viscous damping. Ocean waves statistics, measurements and spectra are covered alongside Airy wave theory. Tidal motions and wind spectra are introduced to generate metocean operating conditions and the resulting environmental forces. Ocean Technologies studied includes marine renewable energy converters, vessels, underwater vehicles and offshore structures.
