University Learning, Ethics and Professionalism; Class, HW, and Exam Policies
See: Lab Safety RulesGrading: Labs and HomeWorks - 20%, Midterm(s) - 30%, and Final - 50%. If any item is not required/graded for the whole class, the other items are prorated proportionally. Final Exam is comprehensive and its passing grade is required to pass the course.
Goals:
This course in Thermodynamics is aimed to provide students with basic theory and practice in the discipline. Strong emphasis is placed on problem solving and professional judgment. After completing the course, students are expected to be able to apply learned knowledge and skills of this course in order to understand, analyze and design different thermal components, processes and systems.3-hr Period
