After passing the course, the student can:
- describe definitions and basic concepts in the area of heat and energy
- explain the physical principles that play a role in energy and heat management in products
- recognise forms of energy(conversion) and heat transfer in a product
- make calculations/estimations of energy and heat management in products
- critically assess and compare data and results

This is a part of Module 5, ID 5 Human Product Relations of the Bachelor Industrial Design Engineering. See here for the complete description of this module.
INTRODUCTION
When designing products, use and transfer of energy (heat) have to be taken into account. In this course, the basic principles of energy and heat transfer and several design principles will be discussed. Products from daily practice of industrial designers will be used as a starting point.
CONTENT
In the first part of the couse during the lectures, several concept are introduced, a.o.: energy(forms), work, power, efficiency and heat transfer through conduction, convection and radiation, as well as its corresponding units.
Like stated in the learning objectives, these concepts are practiced at different levels: knowing, understanding, recognizing in products, estimating, calculating and critically assessing. To accomplish this, assignments are given during the Lectorials that must be completed in order to receive bonus points. In addition, weekly group assignments are being developed to allow for more practice in a group setting. A given product will be analysed using the basic subject matters from the first part on energy and heat management. The final exam will be a written exam designed to assess students' understanding of the course's learning objectives.
RELATION TO OTHER COURSES
This course is a preparation to design courses in which technical aspects play a role, like project 'Mechatronica Design and Systems (Module 11)'. It provides basic knowledge used in the entire bachelor programme and the bachelor theses assignment.
