This course introduces quantum mechanics and molecular simulation as engineering tools for the understanding and design of molecular structure and properties. It is aimed at providing an overview of the principles of quantum mechanical theory and molecular simulation with strong emphasis on applications to engineering problems. Key mathematical concepts will be discussed and applied using state-of-the-art modeling software. (0/21/0/21/0)

An introductory course which covers conduction, convection and radiation modes of heat transfer. Both analytical and numerical analysis will be discussed, and concepts will be reinforced through tutorial and laboratory sessions. Latter topics will include combined modes of heat transfer and the design of heat exchangers.
