Technology (GRAD)
- TECH 30100 Renewable Energy Systems (3 cr.) Course provides the students with an introduction to renewable energy sources. Topics include photovoltaic, solar thermal systems, fuel-cells, hydrogen, wind power, waste heat, bio-fuels, wave/tidal power, geothermal power and hydroelectric. Analysis of technical, economic, environment, politics, and social policy are integral components of the course.
- TECH 30200 Introduction to Green Building Technology (3 cr.) This course examines, discusses and analyzes buildings. In particular, it delves into an introduction into green building science and technology. Building systems and assemblies (both residential and commercial) will be discussed and will include topics such as the principles of: thermal efficiency and comfort, climate, shading, site design, daylighting, efficient building envelopes and mechanical equipment. An emphasis will be placed upon interpreting, designing, assessing and applying green solutions and details for building construction purposes.
- TECH 30300 Energy Efficiency and Auditing (3 cr.) Course discusses fundamentals of energy efficiency and energy auditing. Students will analyze audit data, research energy improvement measures, and prepare recommendations. Topics include energy audit process, energy audit reports, energy bill analysis, economic analysis, audit instrumentation, and will include a subset of the following: building envelope, electrical system, HVAC system, waste heat recover, lighting, cogeneration, and other prevalent commercial/industrial systems.
- TECH 30400 Green Building Information Modeling (3 cr.) This course examines the BIM or Building Information Modeling approach to the design and construction of buildings. Topics include, but are not limited to: parametric modeling, interoperability, clash detection and BIM implications for architects, engineers, interior designers, managers and contractors. An emphasis will be placed upon interpreting, designing, and assessing how sustainable technologies (e.g., energy efficiency) can be assessed using BIM tools and modeling techniques.
- TECH 40200 Emerging Green Technologies (3 cr.) This course will allow for examination of the very latest emergent green technologies in renewable energy, green buildings, and sustainable design, as well as, other green technology emerging in the marketplace or in development stages. Students will be immersed in the study of technology that is on the "bleeding edge" of technological development worldwide.
- TECH 50400 Motorsports Project Management (3 cr.) This course focuses on engineering and organizational project management aspects specific to the technical operation of a race team or other closely related business in the extremely fast moving world of motorsports.
- TECH 50700 Measurement and Evaluation in Industry and Technology (3 cr.) An introduction to measurement strategies in industrial, technical, and human resource development environments. The evaluation of measurement outcomes will be the primary focus of the course.
- TECH 52100 Practicum in Motorsports Design and Application (4 cr.) This course comprises a study conducted while the student is working with a race team or associated motorsports industry organization. The student's experience will be overseen and monitored by IUPUI faculty. A project relevant to the student's individual situation will be determined by mutual agreement between the student, supervising faculty member, and industrial supervisor. The project will integrate and synthesize the various aspects of the motorsports industry in which the student has been imbedded. An industry quality technical presentation and technical report will be required.
- TECH 53100 Motorsports Topics Seminar (2 cr.) This course features a variety of special topics and guest speakers tying together the concepts of design, modeling, and testing which were studied in an undergraduate program in motorsports engineering or elated field.
- TECH 56300 History, Trends and Limitations of Technology (3 cr.) Students learn the fundamental concepts in engineering and technology education. This includes knowledge of information and communication systems, constructions, manufacturing processes, energy/power/transportation technologies, and the overall impact of individuals on the environment within the context of society. This course develops the philosophy and nature of technology as an education discipline. It covers an overview of the importance of technology in history. Students also learn the limitations and scope that impacts the field of engineering technology.
- TECH 58100 Workshop in Technology (1-3 cr.) Advanced study of technical and professional topics. Emphasis is on new developments relating to technical, operational, and training aspects of industry and technology education.
- TECH 58200 Motorsports Special Topics (3 cr.) This course involves an independent or directed study conducted under the guidance of a motorsports department faculty member.
- TECH 64600 Analysis of Research in Industry and Technology (3 cr.) P: Master's student standing. Analysis of research and evaluation of research reports. Emphasis on understanding the application of fundamental statistical methods in design and interpretation of research findings in industrial, technical, and human resource development environments.
