Thermodynamics (ME 3011 & ME 3121)
In this course, students learn how energy is exchanged between systems and can be harnessed to perform useful tasks. Thermodynamics topics are distributed between ME 3011 (Thermodynamics) and ME 3121 (Intermediate Thermal-Fluids Engineering).

Note: Professor Miller's ME 301 (Thermodynamics I) and ME 302 (Thermodynamics II) lectures were recorded in the quarter system. These topics are now distributed between ME 3011 (Thermodynamics) and ME 3121 (Intermediate Thermal-Fluids Engineering). Lectures 1-25 were recorded for ME 301 in Winter 2017 and lectures 26-51 were recorded for ME 302 in Spring 2018.
In the semester system, topics in lectures 1-33 are usually covered in ME 3011, while topics in lectures 33-51 are usually covered in ME 3121.
