Catalog Description: (Prerequisites - MA 113, PH 111, Corequisites: MA 221 ) Concepts of system, conservation and accounting of extensive properties, and constitutive relations are introduced as a common framework for engineering analysis and modeling. Conservation equations are developed for mass, charge, momentum, and energy, and an accounting equation is developed for entropy. Applications are taken from all engineering disciplines.
