Project and presentation:

Students will work on a group project where they will apply the principles learned in the course to solve real-world problems. Each group will present their findings at the end of the semester.

Assignments: Homework and projects will be assigned regularly throughout the semester.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):

           1. Understand the fundamentals of transport phenomena in materials engineering.

           2. Derive mathematical model equations related to transport phenomena.

           3. Classify the kinds of energy transport in technical systems and examine them with numerical and analytical methods.

           4. Use computer software (e.g., MATLAB, ANSYS FLUENT) to solve transport phenomena problems.

Evaluation Methods:

Evaluation will be based on participation, homework, midterm exam, final exam, presentations, and assignments as detailed in the grading policy.
