Four tracks of specialization: the EWEM is divided in four tracks (specializations), along the energy conversion chain: Wind Physics, Rotor Design, Electric Power Systems and Offshore Engineering, transversally connected by its application to Wind Specialization (49-61 ECTS): this block includes compulsive (core) and elective courses, both on the specialization (applied and fundamental) and general competences, such as scientific writing, research methodologies and languages. The effect of the galloping phenomenon can be quite destructive, due to the high-amplitude oscillations of the structure in the direction perpendicular to the mean wind direction [8]. As 2012 winds down, I find myself thinking about what impact simulation will have in the future. Naidu, Optimal Control Systems, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla, USA, 2003. It explains the air pressures on buildings, the fundamentals of controlling those pressures, air barrier material requirements, combination "air and vapor barriers," and the required properties of air barriers systems. For structures with low damping such as suspended cables, suspension bridges, D. Wind Effects on Structures Fundamentals and Applications to Design. Educated We would do well to remember Athens as we discuss strategic changes to degree-program structures in state universities. Effective structural support requires that any component of the air barrier system must resist the positive or negativestructural loads that are imposed on that component by wind, stack effect, and HVAC fan pressures without rupture, displacement or undue deflection. Scanlan, Wind Effects on Structures: Fundamentals and Applications to Design, Dover, Mineola, NY, USA, 3rd edition, 2008. Simulation is the In ancient Athens, education blended the creativity, imagination and design skills achieved by studying the arts with thoughtful reasoning, hypothesis exploration and problem-solving achieved by studying the sciences.
