MATLAB for Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer provides an in-depth exploration of computational methods used to analyze and solve complex thermodynamic problems. Participants will engage in project-based learning, applying MATLAB to simulate heat transfer processes, analyze thermodynamic cycles, and model various physical systems. This hands-on approach ensures that learners not only grasp theoretical concepts but also gain practical skills that are directly applicable in engineering and scientific research.
Throughout the course, participants will collaborate on projects that culminate in a final presentation, encouraging the dissemination of their findings in the Cademix Magazine. By the end of the program, learners will have developed a robust portfolio demonstrating their ability to utilize MATLAB effectively for thermodynamic applications, enhancing their employability in industries such as energy, aerospace, and materials science.
