ME 305 Thermodynamics
Course Policies
Woodbury
Summer 2012
Prerequisites. ME 215 Thermodynamics I and MATH227 Calculus III. You are reminded that the College of
Engineering requires a grade of 'C' or better for all prerequisites.
Catalog Description. Thermodynamic cycle analysis; Maxwell relations and development of thermodynamic
properties; thermodynamics of non-reacting and reacting mixtures and chemical equilibrium (ES3).
Attendance. Your best opportunity to learn the concepts for the course is to actively participate in the class
meetings. An informal record of attendance will be kept.
Tests. There will be four major tests which will be administered on the days indicated on the assignment sheet.
Pop Quizzes. Unannounced or “pop” quizzes may be given. These scores will be counted the same as
additional homework problems.
Homework. Problems will be assigned regularly and will be collected for grading. Late homework cannot be
accepted for credit.
Final Exam. The final exam will be administered during the University-assigned time period. For the MTWThF
12:00-1:45 PM class meeting time, the final exam will be held on Thursday, August 2, 2012, from 2:00 PM to
4:30 PM.
Make-up Tests. Make-up tests will not be administered. Only in the case of a student's extreme illness or family
member's death may exceptions be granted.
Required Text. Thermodynamics: an engineering approach, Seventh Edition, by Cengal and Boles (McGraw Hill,
2011).
Final Grade. The final grade will be computed according to the following algorithm:
