MIME Summer 2024 Technical Electives
MIME 4080-901 Operations Research I
This course focuses on the mathematical methods of operations research and their applications in engineering. Topics include the optimal solution of deterministic and stochastic mathematical models, modeling process, linear programming, the simplex method, duality theory and sensitivity analysis. Prerequisite: MIME 4000, and MATH 2860
MIME 4690-001 Reliability – M. Jehan
Reliability of components and multicomponent systems. Static and dynamic reliability models for both independent and dependent failures. Effects of redundancy. Reliability testing consideration.
MIME 4980-903 ST: Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a method of manufacturing that has been growing rapidly. This course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the advantages as well as the limitations of AM technologies. This online course will prepare students to gain insights into various AM technologies. Learners will also work with design software packages to create 3D models and 3D-print objects from the designed models.
MIME 4980-902 – Introduction to Nuclear Engineering
This course will discuss applications of nuclear energy from its discovery to the present time. Topics include nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, forms of radiation; nuclear fuel manufacture, nuclear reactor design, nuclear reactor operation; radiation damage, radiation protection, radiation detection, radiation shielding; licensing of nuclear material use, handling, and transportation; nuclear safety, nuclear release dispersion modeling; radioactive waste management; nuclear material proliferation.
MIME 4980 - 901 – Lean Six Sigma
The course is intended to introduce students to lean six sigma and design in manufacturing and service settings. It will cover the history of lean six sigma, benefits, cost reduction, quality improvement, metrics, deployment alternatives and case studies.
