By the end of this content area, students will be able to have:
1. a systematic understanding of the key aspects and concepts of thermal engineering and fluid mechanics.
2. coherent knowledge of thermal engineering and fluid mechanics including some at the forefront of the branch in mechanical engineering.
3. the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve problems of thermal engineering and fluid mechanics using established methods.
4. the ability to select and apply relevant analytic and modelling methods in thermal engineering and fluid mechanics.
5. the ability to conduct searches of literature, and to use data bases and other sources of information.
6. the ability to select and use appropriate equipment, tools and methods to solve problems of thermal engineering and fluid mechanics.
7. the ability to combine theory and practice to solve problems of thermal engineering and fluid mechanics.
8. function effectively as an individual and as a member of a team.
9. demonstrate awareness of the health, safety and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice, the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context, and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
