equations are converted to a set of algebraic equations using a weighted integral statement (e.g., weak-form Galerkin and least-squares formulation). For example, a weak-form Galerkin formulation of the governing equations, Eq. 1–2, can be stated as: find the solution {u, p} ∈ S h such that for all {w, q} ∈ V h the following equation is satisfied: Z ∂u w· ρ + ρu · ∇u − ρg − (∇ · w)p dΩ Ω ∂t Z − ∇q · u dΩ + (suitable stability terms) ZΩ = {w · (−pI + τ ) · n

Electrical Engineering. They presented the relation between pressure, flow rates, and designing a dam and solar panels for renewable energy.The second mini project: Each group picked their topic from Table 1. They were required toprepare a short 5–10 minutes presentation that included a title slide with the group’s info, aproblem statement slide, research and solution for the chosen topic, and a final slide for Q&A.The topics were broad in different areas to cover all the majors in the class. The objective of thisassignment was to familiarize students with the diverse real-world applications ofThermodynamics and to help them understand the significant challenges faced by our planet,climate, and emerging technologies. Through this

the final project poster presentation, students were asked to demonstrate their effectivecommunication skills. The result was remarkable, with 95% of students reporting that itsignificantly helped them initiate conversations and engage with the audience. Additionally, 63%of students found it useful in handling Q&A sessions, and 74% of them reported increasedconfidence in their communication skills. Some students (26%) also mentioned that they learnedhow to create a poster and organize their poster layout. When asked for suggestions to improvethe course, one main recommendation from students was to introduce short quizzes after eachtopic to reinforce lecture content.The survey results indicate that students found the course engaging and
