ENGR 2103 Engineering Foundations Studio III

In this course, students will be introduced to transport phenomena, including fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer. These topics will be discussed in the context of the laws of conservation of momentum, energy, and mass and engineering applications. This course will also cover chemical kinetics and equilibrium. Foundations of acids and bases and their reactions will be discussed.
