The ThermoFluid and Energy (TFE) emphasis in the Department of Mechanical Engineering explores mechanisms and application of fluid motion at various scales and energy conversion. Courses offered in this area are often cross listed with the course MECH172: Special Topic in TFE, which can be taken as a technical elective as an undergraduate student.
Core Courses:
Students will need to take at least 8 units out of these courses:
MECH228 (4 units): Energy Conversion & Conservation (Thermodynamics)
MECH239 (4 units): Solid State Power Generation and Energy Harvesting
MECH241 (4 units): Approximation and Design of Heat Transfer System
MECH266 (4 units): Viscous Flow & Advanced Fluid Mechanics
