Numerical techniques used in engineering applications. Finding roots of equations, curve fitting, interpolation, numerical differentiation and integration, systems of linear algebraic equations, solution to non-linear equations, and solutions to ordinary differential equations. 

This course deals with the fundamental concepts of vibration as it affects the operation and performance of machine components.  It involves modeling of mechanical systems, derivation of the differential equations for such systems and its varying solutions (responses) based on different excitations.  Emphases will be on analysis, design, measurement, damping and computational aspects.

This course covers the study of the methodologies used in conducting an engineering research. It includes the types and application of research, characteristics of a good research, research design, research instrument and data gathering procedures. It also deals with the study of writing research proposals and various formats

Materials engineering is, on the basis of these structure-property correlations, designing or engineering the structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties. 

The course deals with the properties of engineering materials which deals with the six different categories: mechanical, acoustical, electrical, magnetic, chemical, optical and thermal properties. 

Laboratory experiments using equipment include tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion and impact tests.
