Course Classification
| Student Outcomes | Level (L, M, H) | Relevant Activities |
|---|---|---|
| 1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. | L | Derive proper relation from heat transfer course for the situation in the applied experiment. Use theoretical relations in engineering and science to calculate the proper variables from experimental data. |
| 2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. | ||
| 3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. | M | Write a lab report for each experiment that includes theory explanation, data representation in both tabular and graphical ways, discussion of the results and comparison with theory. |
| 4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. | ||
| 5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. | M | Perform experiments and related work as a team |
| 6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. | H | Obtain experimental data by following the proper procedures. Analyze the measured data and the calculated variables to derive the relation between the system variables. Discuss the data and the calculated variables to conclude with engineering judgment to the situation studied in the experiment |
| 7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. |
