Statics
Statics deals with the principles of equilibrium. In this course the principles of forces and moments will be explained as well as principle of equilibrium of forces and moments. This also includes the equilibrium of 2D and 3D structures and trusses. Furthermore the principle of internal forces and moments is addressed as well as the use of the principle of virtual work to calculate both external and internal loads. Finally, the concepts of centre of gravity, centroids and moments of inertia are
Dynamics and Stability
This course will the student provide a background in advanced methods of dynamics and their application to relevant problems in aerospace engineering. The course is given in lecture form, and includes various elaborated example problems relevant for aerospace engineering. course content: Principles of dynamics: Newton's laws, motion with respect to non-inertial reference frames, fictitious forces, conservative systems, phase portraits, virtual work. Lagrangian dynamics: Generalised coordinates,
Non Equilibrium Thermodynamics
The course describes in a simple and practical way what non-equilibrium thermodynamics is and how it can contribute to engineering fields. It explains how to derive proper equations of transport from the second law of thermodynamics or the entropy production. The obtained equations are frequently more precise than used so far, and can be used to understand the waste of energy resources in central process units in the industry. The entropy balance is used to define the energy efficiency in energy

Der mutmaßliche Attentäter von Norwegen wird an diesem Montag dem Haftrichter vorgeführt. Der 32-jährige Anders Breivik hatte in ersten Vernehmungen zugegeben, für die Anschläge in der Hauptstadt Oslo und auf der Ferieninsel Utøya verantwortlich zu sein. Bei dem Haftprüfungstermin wolle er öffentlich Ste
Absolute Beginner #15 - A Long, Hot Japanese Summer
Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! During a road trip to Tokyo, you decide to teach your Japanese friends how to play twenty questions. Once your friends understand the game, they are able to dominate play, since they are native Japanese speakers and have a much wider vocabulary. Of course, it would help if you knew more [...]
Beginner Lesson S5 #9 - Can You Believe How Rudely He Spoke in Spanish?
Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101.com! While you’re walking down the street in Mexico with your friend chatting in Spanish, a young boy smacks into you as he runs around the corner. He barely pauses long enough to mutter in Spanish, “Excuse me, ma’am,” and then he starts to run off again. He doesn’t even make eye [...]
Inside the News: U.S. debt deadlock supports safe-haven bid
The bid firmly back in safe-haven assets like gold, Bunds and the Swiss franc on the prospect of the first-ever US debt default after talks collapsed. Wall Street is seen following Europe lower.
7.2 Complexity and rich pictures This section is mostly concerned with thinking about your rich picture and the complex situation it depicts. There are lots of ways of drawing a good rich picture and very few ways of drawing bad rich pictures. So my next strategy in supporting your learning, and your experience of this complex situation, is to propose a number of checks you might use to ensure you have not fallen into the trap of the less-effective rich picture. Although my discussion will focus on rich pictures,
7.1 Introduction
Your course might not include any maths or technical content but, at some point during your studies, it’s likely that you’ll come across information represented in charts, graphs and tables. You’ll be expected to know how to interpret this information, and possibly encouraged to present your own findings in this way. This unit will help you to develop the skills you need to do this, and gain the confidence to use them. This unit can be used in conjunction with, and builds on the ‘Working
Energy resources: Geothermal energy
Energy from sources other than fossil and nuclear fuels is to a large extent free of the concerns about environmental effects and renewability that characterise those two sources. Each alternative source supplies energy continually, whether or not we use it. This unit considers one of these alternative sources, geothermal energy derived from the interior heat of the Earth, and the potential for this alternative to supplant fossil and nuclear fuel use to power social needs fast enough to avoid th
Boiler Bytes: Team to compete in international solar home competition
Purdue University is one of 20 teams chosen to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011. The teams, from 16 U.S. and four foreign universities, will compete to design, build and operate the most affordable, attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered house.

Mixing Domains: Architecture plus Software Engineering
Software engineering is a multidisciplinary area of knowledge combining competence in computation with at least one other area of expertise, typically in the domain of the applications being created. A course offering for students of engineering, architecture and software engineering at Carnegie Mellon illustrates the challenges and opportunities of cross-domain instruction. These include ontology, problem taxonomies, and instruction strategies.

As virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say
The breath goes now, and some say, No:
So let us melt, and make no noise,
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move,
'Twere profanation of our joys
To tell the laity our love.
Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears
