    Course Objectives The course aims to enable students to understand how heat energy is transferred in engineering systems. By introducing fundamental heat transfer mechanisms such as conduction, convection, and radiation, students learn to apply these principles in solving engineering problems. Topics covered include energy equations, heat conduction equations, convection processes, and thermal radiation. Students gain skills to model these processes for practical engineering applications using mathematical methods, focusing on energy efficiency, insulation strategies, and cooling system designs.
