ME-251: Thermodynamics and energetics IThe course introduces the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer, and thermodynamic properties of matter and their calculation. The students will master the concepts of heat, mass, and mom
ME-469: Nano-scale heat transferIn this course we study heat transfer (and energy conversion) from a microscopic perspective. First we focus on understanding why classical laws (i.e. Fourier Law) are what they are and what are their
MSE-464: Assembly techniquesIntroduction to the assembly of materials by homogeneous or heterogeneous joints (welding, bonding, mechanical assembly). Mechanical and environmental resistance of joints.
ENV-411: Ecohydrological modelingThis course provides the theoretical basis for understanding and modeling the interactions between the hydrologic cycle, vegetation, soil, climate, and human society.
ENV-200: Environmental chemistryThis course provides students with an overview over the basics of environmental chemistry. This includes the chemistry of natural systems, as well as the fate of anthropogenic chemicals in natural sys
CIVIL-323: Reinforced concrete structuresThis course introduces the student to the behaviour and design of reinforced concrete structures. The student will learn the principles of analysis of reinforced concrete and how to design common conc
ENV-523: HydrogeophysicsThis course aims at providing a solid methodological foundation for understanding the principles and applicabilities of geophysical techniques relevant for addressing hydrogeological and related envir
CIVIL-709: New Concretes for StructuresThis course provides an in-depth coverage of mechanical and physical properties of Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC), in the framework of new concretes for sustainable structu
