This document outlines the course details for Engineering Thermodynamics, a core subject for mechanical and automobile engineering students. The course aims to teach fundamental thermodynamic concepts like the first and second laws of thermodynamics, properties of pure substances and gas mixtures, and vapor and gas power cycles. It is a 5-credit course taught over the third semester through 4 lecture hours and 1 tutorial hour per week. Assessment includes a end semester exam, assignments, and an open ended practical exam. The course intends for students to understand thermodynamic laws and applications, energy and exergy analysis, and analyze common thermodynamic cycles upon completion.

ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS: Preparation of power-point slides, which include videos,
animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding theory and practical work The faculty will allocate
chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the entire syllabus to be covered. The power-point
slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the
group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should submit
to GTU.
