Dynamics
UG course (MAE130B/30B)
The approach we use in this course is to actually adopt three-dimensional representations of the kinematics and kinetics from the very beginning, teach analytical dynamics in the first course, and provide entertaining examples throughout.
Graduate course (MAE207)
MAE207 is a graduate dynamics course covering Lagrangian multipliers, integrals of motion, Routhians and ignorable coordinates, variational calculus and the Euler-Lagrange equation, virtual power methods, continuous systems and Hamilton's principle, and non-holonomic phenomena.

PhD level graduate course in engineering
Acoustics was once a boring old phenomena responsible for sonar, auditorium design, and musical greeting cards. Not any more.
A technique now proven to be far more powerful than electrohydraulics and and optical methods in micro and nanofluidic actuation, acoustofluidics is a burgeoning field reliant on high frequency acoustics and underpinning many new developments and devices at these small scales. The results are solving important problems appearing in publications in Science, Nature, and PNAS among other prominent journals throughout science and engineering.
This course examines piezoelectricity, microfluidics, acoustics, and device metrology as we progress to examine the fascinating phenomena of acoustofluidics at small scales in the laboratory, and show how it all can be used in practical applications.
Computer-Aided Analysis and Design
Undergraduate course in engineering
Computer-aided analysis and design. How to perform simple back-of-the-envelope calculations to verify or replace computations. Design methodology, tolerance analysis, Monte Carlo analysis, kinematics and computer-aided design of linkages, design of cams and cam dynamics; and finite element analysis. Approximate solution techniques, the value of similtude, scaling, and trained guessing methods for design in engineering and other disciplines.
