Professor Davis' Classes

The academic quarter at UC Davis is on the quarter system. Prof. Davis teaches three classes per year, or one each quarter. Of these, 1 class is typically a graduate level course, and 2 classes are an undergraduate course. Below is information on the courses, and enrolled students have access to course materials through a different UC Davis website.

GRADUATE Level Courses

MAE 207: Engineering Experimentation and Uncertainty Analysis

Lecture-4 hours; term paper. Prerequisite: EME 107A and EME 107B. Design and analysis of engineering experiments with an emphasis on measurement standards, data analysis, regressions and general and detailed uncertainty analysis, including statistical intervals, propagation of bias and precision errors, and correlated bias approximations. (Offered in alternate years)

next offering: Fall 2008

MAE 298: Introduction to BioMEMS

Lecutre-4 hours; project report. This course is ideal for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates who are interested in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) topics related to biological applications. The course will cover topics from a variety of disciplines as related to bioMEMS: mechanical, electrical, biomedical, chemical engineering, and materials science.(Offered in alternate years)

next offering: Fall 2009

UNDERGRADUATE Level Courses

MAE 001: Introduction to Mechanical Engineering
