Engineering & Technology Management

1.Computer Applications: Notes will be given by the professor itself
2.Engineering Systems simulation: Kelton, Sadowski
3.Industrial Management: William J. Stevenson
4.Project management: Harold Kerzner
5.Quality Management: There probably will be a change in the book
The present status of the funding is not known. Some of the Professors might have funding but they still do have some students working for them.

 

 
Mechanical Engineering
 

Major Courses offered:
1.Adv CAD
2.CAM-I and CAM II
3.Advanced Machine Design
4.Integrated Product and process development
5.Comp Aided Engineering
6.Environmental Engineering
7.Robust Design
8.Thermal systems
9.Dynamics
10.Vibrations

Books:
For most of the courses the professors would give the required material. It is not like that the course would be covered in one full book; the course is prepared by taking important topics from various books. Anyway some helpful books would be:
1.Machine design by Arora
2.Finite element Method by Daryl L. Logan
3.Concurrent Engineering (both volumes) by Biren Prasad
