Comments from lecturer
Concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer appear in almost every aspect of engineering R&Ds.
Also if you look at the syllabus of ME graduate departments, other advanced courses in Thermal
Engineering field require the students to have fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and heat
transfer, in advance. Students who major the mechanical engineering are therefore strongly
recommended to sign-up to brush-up your thermal engineering basics for your classes and research.
The students who major non-mechanical engineering are also encouraged to take the subject to have
broader engineering sense.
