ENGR& 224 - Thermodynamics

1. Define and apply the basic laws and quantities of relevance in thermodynamic analysis (eg. heat, pressure, enthalpy, entropy, etc.).
2. Analyze thermodynamic processes and cycles within the conceptual frameworks of the zeroth, first, and second laws of thermodynamics.

1. Use engineering principles to solve problems related to engineering mechanics.
2. Analyze a wide variety of physical systems using Newton’s Laws and free body diagrams in 3D space.
3. Transfer to a Bachelor’s program in Engineering with the necessary aptitude to succeed in upper-division coursework.

• Critical Thinking - Critical thinking finds expression in all disciplines and everyday life. It is characterized by an ability to reflect upon thinking patterns, including the role of emotions on thoughts, and to rigorously assess the quality of thought through its work products. Critical thinkers routinely evaluate thinking processes and alter them, as necessary, to facilitate an improvement in their thinking and potentially foster certain dispositions or intellectual traits over time.
• Responsibility - Responsibility encompasses those behaviors and dispositions necessary for students to be effective members of a community. This outcome is designed to help students recognize the value of a commitment to those responsibilities which will enable them to work successfully individually and with others.
• Quantitative and Symbolic Reasoning - Quantitative Reasoning encompasses abilities necessary for a student to become literate in today’s technological world. Quantitative reasoning begins with basic skills and extends to problem solving.
