Abstract: Thermodynamics is a branch of physics concerned with heat and temperature and their relation
to energy and work. The behavior of these quantities is governed by the four laws of thermodynamics,
irrespective of the composition or specific properties of the material or system in question. The laws of
thermodynamics are explained in terms of microscopic constituents by statistical mechanics.
Thermodynamics applies to a wide variety of topics in science and engineering, especially physical
chemistry, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering.

1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering

fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex
engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics,
natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and
design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration
for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research
methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the
information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern
engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with
an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess
societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the
professional engineering practice.
7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering
solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for
sustainable development.
8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms
of the engineering practice.
9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in
diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the
engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write
effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear
instructions.
11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the
engineering and management principles and apply these to ones own work, as a member and leader
in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in
independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

To set the target average marks are calculated based on previous 3 years result considering all
divisions. Target is 54%. (attach document for average calculation)

Attainment Levels vs. target (For External)

Attainment Level 1: 60% of students score more than 54% marks
Attainment Level 2: 70% of students score more than 54% marks
Attainment Level 3: 80% of students score more than 54% marks

If the target is not achieved, state reasons:
If target is not achieved (or achieved with Level 1 or 2) then provide an action plan to achieve in
subsequent years:
1. Additional assignments will be given
2. More Delivery method tools will be used for lectures.

The course is largely based on study of different type of laws and application of laws for calculation
for different conditions. It is observed that the students score good marks in Online-examination,
but they pay less attention to theory questions, numerical problems, so they get less marks in End-
semester theory examination. While teaching the subject, it has been observed that weak students
need individual attention and they have to develop numerical solving skill. So we are planning a
course for developing numerical solving skills for weak students.

Target set for A. Y 2017-18 is 56% for External
