Information 1. OBJECTIVES The main items to be
learned in
a course on thermodynamics are:
A. the
thermodynamics concepts
B. the implication of the laws of thermodynamics C. the methods of applying thermodynamic analysis to engineering problems 2. PREREQUISITES A. Physics 150 General
Physics

essential to develop your understanding of the material.
If you do miss
lecture, obtain information and notes
from fellow classmates. 4. TEXT Fundamentals of Engineering
Thermodynamics, by Moran and Shapiro, 7th Edition, 2011.
Available at school bookstore. 5. GRADING The distribution of credit
is as
follows:
Attendance 5% Homework 10% Quizzes 60% Final Exam 25% 6. PROBLEM SETS and HOMEWORK Problem sets and graded
homework
should be completed
before lecture on the date specified. Students are
expected to work out
the details of their solutions
individually. Simply copying from previously issued solutions, and from other students' solutions, will reduce a student's ability to do well on the exams. Problem solving methodology described in class must be followed. Graded-homework must be written on engineering paper or quad paper. 7. EXAMS They will be closed book and closed notes. No makeup for exams will be given except in cases such as documented illness and similar reasons, otherwise a failing grade is given for that missed exam.8. DISABILITY SERVICES
