This course introduces students to the basic principles and engineering applications of heat transfer. Fundamental concepts and principles of conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer are introduced and the pertinent governing equations are developed. This is followed by the application of these equations in analysis of heat transfer systems such as fins and heat exchangers. The following topics are covered in this course: introduction to conduction, convection, and radiation; one-dimensional, steady-state conduction; multi-dimensional, steady-state conduction; introduction to convection; internal and external forced convection; principles of boiling heat transfer; and principles of radiative heat transfer.

(Formerly ENGR-AD 400)
This course discusses project management, design process, decision, risk, and ethics in the context of design and project planning and implementation though lectures and skill building exercises. Applications of some of these topics are practiced via mini-projects, with the goal to integrate these in the actual capstone design project undertaken by each student.Prerequisite: Senior Standing

Students learn about the process of design with measurable metrics, and how to incorporate appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints in the design process. Students learn how to clearly frame the design problem and follow the design process to result in an optimized solution. Students perform a review of the relevant literature, develop a preliminary design, generate solution concepts and selection criteria, and review and evaluate the chosen design. Students must consider social, economic, lifecycle, environmental, ethical, and other constraints, and must document the design process and the evolution of their design. This project culminates with a final report and presentation that proposes the actual design selected for further development and/or prototyping and testing in the subsequent semester.

The students finalize the proposed design solution, and test and verify the solution. Design modifications based on the test data are incorporated. If applicable, prototypes are built and tested. A final report for the project is prepared and the students make a presentation of their project to peers, faculty, and other professionals.
