Specific goals for the course a. specific outcomes of instruction, ex. The student will be able to explain the significance of current research about a particular topic. Upon successful completion of this course, the student shall be able to: 1. Run relatively simple thermo-fluids experiments, obtain the data and analyze the information. 2. Perform temperature, pressure, flow rate, thermal conductivities and thermal performance through experiments. 3. Improve his understanding of the principles of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer through experiments. 4. Present his results and findings in writing through professional reports.
