For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Water supply is a problem of worldwide concern: more than 1 billion people do not have reliable access to clean drinking water. Water is a particular problem for the developing world, but scarcity also impacts industrial societies. Water purification and desalination technology can be used to convert brackish ground water or seawater into drinking water. The challenge is to do so sustainably, with minimum cost and energy consumption, and with appropriately accessible technologies. This subject will survey the state-of-the-art in water purification by desalination and filtration. Fundamental thermodynamic and transport processes which govern the creation of fresh water from seawater and brackish ground water will be developed. The technologies of existing desalination systems will be discussed, and factors which limit the performance or the affordability of these systems will be highlighted. Energy efficiency will be a focus. Nanofiltration and emerging technologies for desalination will be considered. A student project in desalination will involve designing a well-water purification system for a village in Haiti. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=fb9971d11f5067b986ca17ac79db535b http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-500-desalination-and-water-purification-spring-2009 Lienhard, John Balaban, Miriam 2009-12-29T15:50:35+05:00 2.500 en-US reverse osmosis seawater electrodialysis student work distillation flash evaporation power generation wastewater treatment particulate removal system engineering cogeneration solar still chlorination Haiti MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm Welcome to 2.007! This course is a first subject in engineering design. With your help, this course will be a great learning experience exposing you to interesting material, challenging you to think deeply, and providing skills useful in professional practice. A major element of the course is design of a robot to participate in a challenge that changes from year to year. This year, the theme is cleaning up the planet as inspired by the movie Wall-E.From its beginnings in 1970, the 2.007 final project competition has grown into an Olympics of engineering.  See this MIT News story for more background, a photo gallery, and videos about this course. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=4104cfcaadd23d006e124e84764f00e3 http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-007-design-and-manufacturing-i-spring-2009 Frey, Daniel Gossard, David 2009-12-21T17:06:15+05:00 2.007 en-US engineering design synthesis analysis robustness manufacturability active learning idea generation estimation materials selection visual thinking kinematics machine elements robotics mechanical engineering student work contest MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm This is an advanced course on modeling, design, integration and best practices for use of machine elements such as bearings, springs, gears, cams and mechanisms. Modeling and analysis of these elements is based upon extensive application of physics, mathematics and core mechanical engineering principles (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, estimation, computer simulation, etc.). These principles are reinforced via (1) hands-on laboratory experiences wherein students conduct experiments and disassemble machines and (2) a substantial design project wherein students model, design, fabricate and characterize a mechanical system that is relevant to a real world application. Students master the materials via problems sets that are directly related to, and coordinated with, the deliverables of their project. Student assessment is based upon mastery of the course materials and the student's ability to synthesize, model and fabricate a mechanical device subject to engineering constraints (e.g. cost and time/schedule). http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=a5459f62d8338af2a6783fc39bc84395 http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-72-elements-of-mechanical-design-spring-2009 Culpepper, Martin 2009-12-09T11:21:06+05:00 2.72 en-US biology chemistry synthetic biology project biotech genetic engineering GMO ethics biomedical ethics genetics recombinant DNA DNA gene sequencing gene synthesis biohacking computational biology iGEM BioBrick systems biology machine design hardware project machine element design process design layout prototype mechanism engineering fabrication lathe precision engineering group project project management CAD fatigue Gantt chart MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/terms/index.htm In this course students will learn how solar cells convert light into electricity, how solar cells are manufactured, how solar cells are evaluated, what technologies are currently on the market, and how to evaluate the risk and potential of existing and emerging solar cell technologies. We examine the potential & drawbacks of currently manufactured technologies (single- and multi-crystalline silicon, micromorph tandem cells, CdTe, CIGS, CPV, PVT), as well as pre-commercial technologies (organics, biomimetic, organic/inorganic hybrid, and nanostructure-based solar cells). Hands-on laboratory sessions explore how a solar cell works in practice. We scrutinize what limits solar cell performance and cost, and the major hurdles — technological, economic, and political — towards widespread substitution of fossil fuels. Students will apply this knowledge towards developing and critiquing a solar energy technology prospectus. http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=3635bd5db908aba5ad52f81a8d30574a http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-626-fundamentals-of-photovoltaics-fall-2008 Buonassisi, Tonio 2009-07-16T17:07:32+05:00 2.626 en-US thin films student work commercialization semiconductor engineering doped polymer nanostructures self-organized systems alternative energy manufacturing quantum dots global energy supply MIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
