	Spring 1996 Heat Transfer MEEG 302 - Course Information
	Instructor: Dr. S. G. Advani 205 Spencer Lab. I will post regular office hours on my webpage. Please try to come during these times if at all possible. If you cannot come during regular office hours please call and make an appointment.
	Teaching Assistant: Mr. Roopesh Mathur 227 Spencer (x-1517) Office Hours:TR 12.00 to 2 p.m.
	Text Book: The primary text material will be your notes and the text book "Engineering Heat Transfer" by N.V. Suryanarayana
	Assignments: Homework or computer projects will be assigned on approximately a weekly basis and a due date will be given with each assignment. Late homework will be accepted (with 50% reduced grade) until the beginning of the class following the due date. Homework solutions must be written neatly on only one side of the paper and all pages must be stapled together. In addition, the following items are not acceptable: untrim pages torn from notebooks, pages clipped or folded together.
	Exams There will be two exams during the course of the semester and a final exam. The tentative dates are as follows: Exam 1 March 15,1996 Exam 2 April 29, 1996 Final May 20, 1996
	Grades Grades will be based on homeworks, computer projects and the exams weighted as follows: Homeworks 20% Computer Project 10% Exam 1 20% Exam 2 20% Final 30% To pass the course you must obtain at least 40% in the exams 50% in the homeworks 50% in the computer projects
