6.Specific goals for the course
a.Specific outcomes of instruction (e.g. The student will be able to explain the significance of current research about a particular topic.)
i. Basic concept & overall objectives
Students understand the principles, significance, and modes of heat transfer; thus, students can apply the gained knowledge in the analysis & design of the involved engineering system under stated conditions e.g. steady-state or transient.
ii. Skill in solving involved mathematics
Students can identify thermal system and formulate the governing equations of such system to be solved with a proper set of BCs/ICs either analytically or numerically.
iii. Skill in determining and applying proper heat transfer coefficient
Students can determine appropriate heat transfer coefficient from empirical correlation or from first principle and apply it to find the solution of the problem
iv. Design of heat exchanger/heat transfer equipment
Student can analyze/design a proper heat exchanger/transfer equipment significant/practical to the industries e.g. double-pipe, shell-and-tube, plate-and-frame, evaporator, condenser, reboiler, steam & thermal-oil boiler etc.
b. Explicitly indicate which of the student outcomes listed in Criterion 3 or any other outcomes are addressed by the course.
