- To study advanced topics and methods of thermodynamics within the context of their application to engineering systems
- To introduce the principles of fluid mechanics and acquire experience in solving related engineering problems

Thermal Fluid Lab (ME 379)
- To study through experimentation the principles of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer within the context of engineering applications.
- To develop laboratory procedure, safety, and skills.
- To apply knowledge of engineering thermal-fluid principles and instrumentation to new problems.

Solar Energy System Analysis and Design (ME4471)
The course introduces students to the fundamentals of solar energy conversion and solar energy systems. Principles in thermodynamics and heat transfer required to understand the solar energy use is reviewed. Design of different types of solar energy systems are explored and assessed. Issues relating to the practical implementation of solar energy are also considered.

Advanced Vehicle Energy Systems (ME493)
This course introduces the advanced energy conversion systems in automotive vehicles, including advanced internal combustion engines and bio-fuels, hybrid, electric, and fuel cell vehicles. The course covers the fundamentals, characteristics, and design consideration of the energy systems.

Vehicle Thermal Management (ME538)
This course covers fundamental thermo-fluid principles and advanced topics in thermal management of conventional and electric drive vehicles (EDVs). The topics include: principles of energy conservation, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics; vehicle thermal management system and components; electrification of vehicle thermal management system; EDV thermal management; battery thermal management in EDVs; and waste energy recovery
