PROF. GILBERT L. ADAMS
I am a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Educator with over 30 years of experience in teaching STEM courses at postsecondary institutions. I am particularly skilled in teaching applied engineering courses and have always received exceptional student evaluations, especially with respect to explaining difficult and complex concepts.
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Applied Fluid Mechanics
by Mott and Untener
An introduction to fluid statics and the basic laws of fluid flow;
conservation of mass, momentum and energy. Applications of the
basic laws to incompressible flow, including piping systems design,
centrifugal pumps and fans, streamlining, and fluid flow measurements.
Applied Mechanics for Engineering Technology
by Keith M, Walker
Introduction to the basic principles of engineering mechanics for study of applied technology. Topics include terminology, types of force systems, determination of the resultant force of force systems, analysis of coplanar force systems in equilibrium, centroids, and moments of inertia and friction.
Applied Strength of Materials
by Robert L. Mott
Review of principles of statics. Stress and strain, normal stresses, shear, torsion. Stresses in beams and columns. Characteristics of engineering materials: yield and ultimate strength, ductility. Application to selected components within various mechanical systems.
Applied Thermodynamics I and II
by Eastop and McConkey
Introduction to the basic principles of thermodynamics for engineering technologist. Part 1 topics include: understanding and utilizing the properties of thermodynamic working fluids, applying the first law of thermodynamics to both closed and open systems, and understanding the ramifications of the second law of thermodynamics. Part 2 topics include: analyzing various thermal power cycles, refrigeration cycles, psychometrics, and combustion analysis.
