Student learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to define and describe fundamental engineering thermodynamic concepts and demonstrate energy balance methods. This provides a strong background for energy analysis in heat transfer, fluids, mechanical, electrical, and other energy processes which follow in the engineering curriculum.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to apply thermodynamic theory for studying real-world problems in professional engineering practice. This understanding will be based on development of skills in the procedures of thermodynamic analysis and laboratory demonstrations.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to formulate energy balance equations for complex engineering thermodynamic systems and solve them using engineering computational tools.
