6. Specific goals for the coursea. specific outcomes of instruction, ex. The student will be able to explain

the significance of current research about a particular topic.Upon successful completion of this course, the student shall be able to:

1. Use software in the examination of simulated experiments.2. Design thermodynamic cycles.3. Analyze the acquired results from thermodynamic cycles.4. Determine the thermal efficiency of thermodynamic cycles.5. Demonstration of fluid flow.6. Write professional lab reports

b. explicitly indicate which of the student outcomes listed in Criterion 3 orany other outcomes are addressed by the course.

Outcome (a) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science,and engineering

This course emphasizes the ability to apply knowledge in mathematics,physics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to the phenomena

associated with the indicated topics. The students are expected to utilizeconservation laws for mass, momentum and energy as applied to thermaland fluidic systems.

Outcome (c) An ability to design a system, component, or process tomeet desired needs

Students have the ability to design, make conjunctures and explorepossibilities in process. The students evaluate and interpret the results ofsimulation to guide design process.

Outcome (k) Ability to use techniques, skills, and tools in engineeringpractice

Students learn to use modern software necessary in the examination ofsimulated experiments.
