Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Systems
MAE 494/598
Air conditioning refers to the thermal and environmental control of building interiors, while refrigeration refers to maintaining sub-ambient temperatures for food, vaccines, or other products. The purpose of this course is to enable students to specify and/or design such systems for application in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

Energy Efficiency
MAE 494/576
Energy Efficiency is a combined senior technical elective and graduate course with primarily mechanical engineering students. The goal is to enable the students to analyze energy-efficiency opportunities in buildings and industrial processes, and to innovate and implement energy efficiency technologies.
Heat Transfer and Thermal Design
MAE 589
MAE 589 Heat Transfer is a graduate mechanical engineering class taken by master's and PhD students, usually from mechanical engineering but also from aerospace engineering and other disciplines. These students have generally had an undergraduate course on the same material, so they come into the class already with basic skills in heat transfer. They are capable of conducting analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA) using Ansys or other packages, and designing thermal solutions as a part of product development or other engineering applications.
