1. To review and reinforce the basic concepts and problem solving skills of engineering thermodynamics. We are engineers. We solve problems.
2. To study the mathematical foundations of classical thermodynamics.
You would find that thermodynamics is quite easy. There is no partial differential equation. All you need to do is to find the properties in tables.
You will find that it is not so easy to understand the mathematics in thermodynamics.
That would be a great challenge for you.
3. To explore some of the advanced topics in engineering thermodynamics those are important in the future carrier of graduate students.
Especially at the present day when the sustainable energy and zero emission of greenhouse gas become a great issue for our future development.
