| Class 2 | Boltzman superposition principle | Understand the Boltzman superposition principle. |
| Class 3 | Basics of fluid dynamics | Understand the basics of fluid dynamics. |
| Class 4 | Explicit and implicit method for one-dimensional steady state heat conduction equation | Understand the explicit and implicit method for steady state heat conduction equation. |
| Class 5 | Explicit and implicit method for one-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation | Understand the explicit and implicit method for one-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation. |
| Class 6 | Finite difference method for two-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation | Understand the finite difference method for two-dimensional non-steady state heat conduction equation. |

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Not required.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Materials used in class can be found on OCW-i.
Evaluation methods and criteria
Student's course scores are based on weekly short quiz and term-end exams.
