To enhance the understanding of heat transfer processes and their relevance to industrial problems.

To strengthen analytical skills and the ability to deal with complex problems, and

To provide experience in treating multi-mode heat transfer phenomena in solving realistic engineering problems.

After learning the course, the students should be able to:
1. Have comprehensive understanding of heat transfer mechanisms of conduction, convection (forced and natural), and radiation heat transfer, including their governing equations.
2. Apply various analytical techniques in mathematical modeling and mathematical methods to solve ODEs and PDEs to solve complex heat transfer problems in various geometries.
3. Understand fluid flow and heat transfer interactions, by analyzing the coupling between fluid flow and heat transfer, including boundary layer effects.
4. Apply heat transfer principles to solve 1D/2D steady/transient heat conduction problems.
5. Identify and formulate heat transfer problems in various engineering contexts to real-world engineering problems.
