Overview of class
In this undergraduate/graduate level course, students will understand interesting properties of natural surfaces (e.g., lotus leaves) and the state-of-the-art bio-inspired research on functional surface design with a focus on mechanical engineering applications for a sustainable future (e.g., water, energy, and the environment). Students will also apply analytical techniques to propose the design of new functional surfaces.
Registration Requirements
Understanding of undergraduate level fluid and solid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and chemistry would help follow course material.
