MAE 211 – THERMODYNAMICS
COURSE POLICY – Spring 2016
1.
INSTRUCTORS:
Class A. Prof. Sangmin Choi (Creative Learning Building 304, Email: [email protected])
Class B. Prof. Nam Il Kim (Creative Learning Building 205, Email: [email protected])
Class C. Prof. Daejun Chang (Creative Learning Building 411, Email: [email protected])

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this course are as follows:



To provide thorough understanding of the basic concepts of classical thermodynamics;
To apply the basic concepts of classical thermodynamics to the solution of practical problems;
To develop the skills necessary for a systematic approach to thermodynamic problem solving.
3.
TEXTBOOK: Çengel, Y.A. and Boles, M.A. Thermodynamics – An Engineering Approach, 8th Edition,
McGraw-Hill, 2015.
4.
PREREQUISITES: The material in MAE 211 is based on the understanding of: (1) calculus, including
ordinary differentiation, integration, and partial differentiation; (2) physics, including Newton’s laws,
concepts of work and energy, simple DC circuits, gravity, and simple electricity and magnetism; and (3)
chemistry, including concepts of moles, molar mass (molecular weight), and the ideal gas law. If you
cannot meet these requirements you should drop this course immediately.
Because a background in physics and chemistry is assumed, you are required to be familiar with such
material or to review it on your own. The MAE 211 class time and resources are reserved for developing
your understanding and appreciation of thermodynamics.
5.
ASSIGNMENTS: The course syllabus is attached to this course policy handout. The course syllabus
provides a detailed listing of the topics to be covered in each lecture, along with the reading and
homework assignments for the entire semester. As basic preparation for each lecture, you should read
the assigned section of the textbook before coming to class. The problems assigned from the textbook
are illustrative of the general material and of problems found on examinations. However, exam problems
are designed to test your understanding of Thermodynamics so they will not be “just like the homework.”
You should attempt to solve the assigned homework problems before each lecture period. This helps
you to formulate questions about the material to be discussed in lecture and also helps you to
understand the lecture discussions.
Homework problems will be posted on the bulletin board of the ME Department Website,
http://me.kaist.ac.kr/. (*Note that each class has its own webpage named as MAE211A, MAE211B,
MAE211C, and MAE211D Students are required to find their class correctly to prevent confusion
throughout the semester.) Homework should be submitted at the beginning of the class on the
designated due date. No late HW will be accepted. Copying homework directly from a friend or a
file will be considered cheating, and will be handled the same as cheating on examinations (See Item
9).
In addition to the weekly reading and homework problem assignments, it is suggested that you review
your class notes on a daily basis. You are responsible for all material listed in the syllabus and
discussed in lecture. Finally, your instructor may not cover every single topic on the course syllabus
in the order that it is listed, or may not have time in lecture to cover all the material listed in the
syllabus. You are still responsible for all the material that is listed in the syllabus.
6.
HOMEWORK: When working homework problems you should follow the problem solution format
outlined below to receive full credit.
Problem Solution Format:
A. Only one side of the paper should be used and only one problem should be included per
page; if more than one page is needed for a problem, all pages should be stapled together,
in order. You should include the following:
i.
Put your name (last, first, middle),
ii.
Put the problem number i.e. Prob. 5.24
iii.
Put the page number of the problem/total pages for this problem i.e. 1/3 or
3/3
B. Put the following information in this order (Note that the following format is similar to the
one described in your textbook (Section 1-11, page 34), with some minor variations):
iv.
ii
iii
v.
vi.
vii.
Given: State in your own words what is given in the problem statement.
Example “The initial temperature is T1=30 C.”
Find: list what the problem wants you to find. Example “a) the pressure at
time 2 or P2 =.”
A sketch of system and your control volume/mass.
Assumptions: Example: “Ideal gas.”
Basic Equations. Your basic equation must be one listed on the attached
MAE 211 basic equation sheet.
Solution. This includes correct units.
Page 36 of the textbook introduces a computer software program called Engineering Software
Packages. We do not use this program in MAE 211, so you do not need to buy it. If an assigned
problem calls for use of this program do not do that part of the problem.
7.
EXAMINATIONS: There are one mid-term examination and one final examination. No make-up
examination will be given. If you have an emergency, or have prior approval of your instructor to
miss an examination, your grade for the missed examination is the average of the remaining
examinations. In all other cases you receive a grade of zero for that examination..
8.
EXAMINATION PREPARATION: In order to be properly prepared for examinations, you should be:
(1) attending and participating in all lectures; (2) reading the textbook and reviewing your class
notes on a regular basis (everyday); and (3) completing and studying all the homework assignments.
If you neglect any aspect of this trilogy, you almost guarantee yourself a poor grade. In order to
perform well on examinations, you must not only understand how to solve new problems in
thermodynamics, but you must be comfortable with the basic concepts of the material. This is
because the examinations are developed to test your understanding of thermodynamics through
problem solving, short answer, conceptual, and other types of questions.
9.
EXAMINATION GRADING: On the examinations, points are deducted if you do not follow the
problem solution format as outlined in Item 6B. In other words, points are deducted if you do not list
what you are to find, what is given, what the system looks like, and what your basic equation is. In
addition, you will lose points if you do not clearly indicate your assumptions, and if you do not provide
sufficient detail during your analysis so that the instructor can understand what you have done and
why you have done it. Finally, you must carry units through during your analysis, and must avoid sign
errors in all energy quantities, plus correctly identify the direction of work and heat terms.
Any form of dishonesty on an examination, as defined by the University Regulations, results in a
grade of zero for that examination, and a letter will be sent to the Dean of Students
recommending that you be placed on probation. After more than one instances you will receive a
failing grade for MAE 211 and a letter will be sent to the Dean of Students recommending that you
be expelled from KAIST.
10.
HELP: There are two main sources of help available outside of the lecture period. The first is the
bulletin board of the ME Department Website and the second is your instructor’s office hours. You
can ask question on the bulletin board under the Q&A section of MAE 211. Your instructor’s office
hours will be announced during the first week of classes.
When you bring a question to instructor’s offices, the TAs/instructor will ask to see what you have
accomplished and where you got stuck. In particular, they will ask you what it is you are trying to find,
what information you were given, what assumptions you have made, and which basic equation(s) you
have chosen to work with. If you have not completed these steps you will only receive suggestions as
to how you might proceed. They will not provide you with easy answers. They are available only to
assist you in the process of learning thermodynamics.
11.
COURSE GRADING: Your course grade is based on the score obtained from the following algorithm:
Mid-term Examination
Final Examination
Homework
Attendance and Quizzes
30%
40%
20%
10%
If you have a conflict with an examination, please see your instructor in advance for individual
guidance.
It is expected that you attend your registered lecture on a regular basis. If you have to miss
class on occasion you should get the class notes from one of your colleagues.
13.
CLASSROOM RULES: Common courtesy while in the classroom is a pre-requisite for learning. The
following is expected of students in MAE 211:



14.
Turn off all cell phones before entering the classroom. It distracts and annoys those sitting near
you when your phone goes off during lecture.
Do not read the newspaper, smart phones, or portable computers once lecture has started.
Class time is not for socializing. Please restrict your conversations to subjects related to ME. It is
distracting and annoying to those sitting near you if you’re talking about non-class issues while
lecture and discussion is going on. Plus, you’ll miss important information. Finally, it’s
disrespectful of your instructor
SOME ADVICE: It is implied that you will ask questions, participate in class discussions, be prepared
to answer questions when called upon, and generally be alert in class. Frequent absences or lack of
participation directly impact your performance on examinations.
Reading your textbook and reviewing your class notes, and working the homework problems
on a daily basis is the best way to ensure you learn the material and are prepared for
examinations. Hard work and perhaps some struggle is generally required, especially in the
early stages of the class, so try and get into the swing of things as soon as possible.
Have Fun & Good Luck!
