Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Computational mechanics is designed to find governing equations that represent physical phenomena with the assistance of computers. In this course, students will be guided through the basic formula of heat conduction problems. The course will explain the basic theory and specific ways to calculate differential methods, which are typica numerical solutions. It will also explain how to apply them to moving boundary problems, such as coagulation.
Style:
The course assumes students have a basic knowledge of Heat Transfer (selected for year 5) at the Mechanical Engineering Department and Advanced Heat Transfer from the school's advance courses, as the study contents are based on them. Students will also work on exercise assignments to meet the Course Objectives and Aims at the information center.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports.
In order to achieve the goals, students are advised to thoroughly pre-study and review each week's class.
The evaluation will be based on four assignments and two quizzes.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
