Description: | Ecological thermodynamics analyses as applied to ecosystems.
First law energy balances and second law entropy generation
analyses of ecosystem scale problems will be covered through
conventional thermodynamic approaches, a new Lagrangian-based
analyses approach, and the Odum Energy approach to
thermodynamics. | | Athena Title: | ECOENERGETICS | | Prerequisite: | Graduate student standing in Engineering or Ecology | Semester Course
Offered: | Offered spring semester every odd-numbered year. | | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| | | Course ID: | ENVE 8450. 3 hours. | | Course Title: | Designing for Rapid Change: Food, Energy, Water, and Climate | Course
Description: | A global-systems quantitative study, design, model development,
and facilitated discussion of global resources, demands,
science, engineering, technologies, and anticipated changes in
an era of acceleration. | | Athena Title: | Engineering Rapid Change | | Prerequisite: | Permission of department | Semester Course

| | | Course ID: | ENVE 8650. 3 hours. | | Course Title: | Advanced Environmental Hydraulics | Course
Description: | One- and two-dimensional flow analyses based on the St. Venant
equations and Navier-Stokes equations. Analysis and numerical
solutions of the St. Venant equations will include dynamic
morphological (morphodynamic) boundaries. A literature review
and design project completion involving available 2-D or 3-D
flow analysis software and modeling packages is expected. | | Athena Title: | Adv Environmental Hydraulics | | Pre or Corequisite: | ENGR 8103 or ENVE 4410/6410 or permission of department | Semester Course
