New courses developed:
ME105B Thermodynamics and Biothermodynamics (undergraduate, first
offered in 2002)
ME145 Computer Aided Thermal Design (undergraduate, first offered
in 1998)
ME146 Energy Conversion (first offered in 2007)
E119 Applied Java Programming (undergraduate, first offered in 1999)
ME259 Microscale Thermophysics and Heat Transfer (graduate, first
offered in 1995)
Other courses taught at UC Berkeley:
ME105 Thermodynamics (undergraduate)
ME109 Heat Transfer (undergraduate)
ME142 Thermal Environmental Control (undergraduate)
ME254 Thermodynamics I (graduate, classical and statistical thermodynamics)
ME258 Heat Transfer with Phase Change (graduate)
The new courses cited above were developed to bring cutting edge material to the engineering undergraduate and graduate programs at Berkeley. ME105B introduces undergraduate to non-equilibrium thermodynamics and small system thermodynamics that are central to understanding of process in cells, organisms and their interaction with their environment. ME259 provides the microscale thermophysics foundation for graduate student research in areas such as MEMS, bioMEMS, ultra fast laser processing and micro heat exchangers for microscale thermal control. ME 145, ME146 and E119 introduce students to the use of modern computational tools for engineering analysis.
