The good student strives not for easy answers, but for
genuine understanding, persevering in the face of obstacles. The good student wishes not just to
"get it done," but to "get it right"; not simply to
"get ahead," but to "get the most out of it."

Objective
Thermodynamics
is an Engineering tool based on applied physics and particularly interested in relationships between Energy, Work and
Heat. Thermodynamic concepts are essential for analyzing almost all Chemical
and Materials Engineering problems, hence, the objective of this course is to
educate engineering students so they are able to effectively utilize
thermodynamics for practical problem solving.
Prerequisites
ChE 115 or MatE 115, CHEM 161 AND ENGR 10 or ENGR 30.
