This unit provides you with opportunities to develop and demonstrate your professional capabilities in the field of thermofluid engineering. You will analyse, explain and evaluate the performance of air-conditioning and refrigeration plant; and mass, heat and energy transfer processes in industrial plant and processes. You will describe types and characteristics of fluid machinery, apply the theory of energy transfer to its operation, and analyse complex fluid flows using computational methods. You will then apply discipline theories and methods to design, implementation, operation and maintenance of industrial mechanical systems. You are required to show you can work both individually and collaboratively, to solve problems, and document and communicate their work clearly in a professional manner. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Student evaluation

Provided clear and knowledgeable explanations and feedback

This feedback should be maintained.

Feedback from Student evaluation

Encouraged students to interact and showed passion and enthusiasm for the discipline

Interaction between the students and facilitator is important. This strategy of creating interaction should be maintained.

Feedback from Student evaluation

Use more examples or elaboration

More real-world examples should be provided.

Feedback from Student evaluation

Make sure the feedback is clear and useable and be mindful of student diversity

More explanation should be provided in the feedback which will be useful for all diverse students.
