Textbook Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer (5th ed), Incropera & DeWitt
Bulletin Board A class bulletin board will be used for questions and class discussions. Bulletin Board
Lectures Material will be covered in lecture by the instructor. Lectures will be held from 2:00 - 3:50 PM on Mondays and from 2:00 - 3:15 PM on Wednesdays
Recitation Recitation will be covered by the Instructor. These sessions will include discussion of homework solutions . Quizzes will be administered before Recitation, from 3:00 -3:15 PM. Recitation will be held on Wednesdays, 3:15 - 3:50 PM
Office Hours Instructor: Tuesday, 2:00 - 4:00 PM; Wednesday, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM.

Homework Homework problems are assigned for most lectures. Their intent is to provide the student with exercise and understanding of heat transfer applications. They will be collected and selected problems graded. Solutions to all homework problems will be distributed or be placed on the Webpage. Solutions will also be discussed during Recitation.
Sample Problems Sample problems are offered for most lectures to illustrate applications. They are all available on the Web; some will be discussed in class. Students may wish to treat them as homework problems to attempt prior to viewing the solutions.
Interactive Problems Interactive problems will be offered to supplement specific applications, utilizing Excel spreadsheet calculations. They will be available on the Web.
Experimental Project Student groups will conduct a measurement project which demonstrates a basic concept of heat transfer. These projects are intended to familiarize students with measurement equipment and data interpretation. A list of possible projects is available.
Examinations Two in-class examinations will be held: A mid-term exam and a final exam. Both exams will be open book, open notes, and use primarily multiple choice questions.
Quizzes Four quizzes will be given on the days noted. Each quiz will begin at 3:00 PM and last 15 minutes. Quizzes are closed book, closed notes format, with multiple choice and true/false questions.
Grade Basis Midterm Exam = 110 points; Final Exam = 125 points; Quizzes = 25 points each; Homework = 40 points total; Project = 25 points. Total possible score = 400 points.
