Six Sigma Green Belt for Process ImprovementThu, Oct 20, 2011
Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Abstract: Learn how to integrate principles of business, statistics and engineering to achieve tangible results. Master the use of Six Sigma to quantify the critical quality issues in your company. Once the issues have been quantified, statistics can be applied to provide probabilities of success and failure. Six Sigma methods increase productivity and enhance quality. As a Six Sigma green belt, you will be equipped to support and champion Six Sigma implementation in your organization. To earn the Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate, you will be required to pass the Institute of Industrial Engineer's green belt exam (administered on the final day of the course).

Astani CEE Department Seminar
Thu, Oct 20, 2011 @ 02:30 PM - 03:30 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Cheng Lin, Civil Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, TaichungTaiwan
Talk Title: Study on Two-Phase Velocity Field of a Steady Hydraulic Jump Using PIV and BIV
Abstract:
A hydraulic jump is widely used as an energy dissipator and is commonly seen in channel flows downstream of a spillway or sluice gate. The kinematic structure of a hydraulic jump is very complicated because of the violent turbulent mixing and air entrainments in the jump. It has confronted many investigators for several decades.
By employing both the BIV (Bubble Image Velocimetry) and PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) Professor Lin and his research group have successfully obtained the flow structure in the aerated region of a steady hydraulic jump using BIV and the flow structure outside the aerated region using PIV.
The experimental techniques to be presented will have wide ranging applications for wave breaking studies in coastal engineering as well as investigations on bubble flows for waste water treatment in environmental engineering field.
Host: Prof. J.J. Lee
