Teaching

COURSES AT NJIT:

CE 645 - ROCK MECHANICS 
Course information: Graduate-level course; 3 credit hours
Focus: Theoretical and experimental rock mechanics and rock engineering; laboratory measurements and field testing; poroelasticity;  of rocks. 

CE 644 - APPLIED ENGINEERING GEOLOGY
Course information: Graduate-level course; 3 credit hours
Focus: Application of engineering principles to predict and mitigate natural and artificial geo-hazards, including the availability, selection, and use of geomaterials (rock and soil) in civil infrastructural projects. The course also explores at a field scale the engineering impacts of natural geologic hazards, including landslides, sinkholes, earthquakes, subsidence, etc. Also includes field site reconnaissance and characterization projects.


CE 662 - DEEP UNDERGROUND ENGINEERING AND RESOURCES 
Course information: Graduate-level course; 3 credit hours
Focus: Governing mechanisms controlling the removal of underground geomaterials (rock and soil) to create optimum space for extraction/injection/storage of economically valuable and sustainable materials/resources at varying deep underground conditions. e.g., vertical and directional drilling; wellbore cementing; foundations of solar and wind energy systems; underground carbon transport and storage; underground nuclear waste disposal; geothermal energy pile; and risk assessment of underground engineering.


CE 463 - ENERGY GEOTECHNICS AND SUSTAINABILITY 
Course information: Undergraduate-level course; 3 credit hours
Focus: application of geotechnical and energy engineering principles in the design and analyses of thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical processes encountered in extracting, exchanging, storing, and protecting underground engineering infrastructure, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate global climate change. Covers basic and applied concepts of underground engineering and underground infrastructure for onshore and offshore resources (e.g., foundations of solar panels and wind turbines).




COURSES AT HOPE COLLEGE:

ENG 346 - FLUID MECHANICS 
Course information: Undergraduate-level course; 3 credit hours
Focus: Mechanics and properties of fluids, the concepts of fluid statics, the integral and differential analyses of fluid motion, and incompressible flows. Applications of these concepts to various engineering situations, such as propulsion systems, aerodynamics, and piping systems, are also examined.


ENG 224 - MECHANICS OF MATERIALS LAB 
Course information: Undergraduate-level course; 1 credit hour
Focus: Fundamental concepts in testing to determine the basic mechanical properties of a range of engineering materials, including metals, woods, composites, and elastomers.
