MCEN-5135 (3) Wind Energy and Wind Turbine Design

Focuses on understanding and applying principles related to current wind energy technology. Students will apply technical coursework from throughout the ME curriculum (fluids, dynamics, circuits, economics) to the process of designing a wind turning and determining whether their proposal is feasible from an economic standpoint. MCEN 4135 and 5135 are the same course. Prerequisites: Restricted to Mechanical (MCEN), Civil (CVEN) or Aerospace (ASEN) Engineering graduate students only.
