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 excavation of underground geomaterials (rock and soil) to create spatial, material, and energy resources. e.g., vertical and directional drilling underground drilling; borehole/wellbore mechanics; wellbore construction and cementing; underground support for onshore & offshore solar and wind energy systems; tunnel construction; underground carbon transport and sequestration; underground support for deep roadways and tunnels; geothermal energy pile; and underground support in coastal areas.


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.
