To ensure successful learning and engagement with the foundational knowledge in both the Thermodynamics Course physical sciences and mathematics gases, students are expected to possess . A prior understanding of basic physics principles, particularly those related to energy, forces, and the behavior of is essential. Students should be comfortable with the concepts of temperature, pressure, volume, and energy transfer , as these form the basis of many thermodynamic discussions. In addition, a background in general chemistry is highly recommended, especially in areas concerning the states of matter, phase changes, chemical reactions, and energy exchange in physical and chemical processes. On the mathematical side, students should have a working knowledge of algebra, functions, and basic calculus, as these are frequently used in the formulation and manipulation of thermodynamic laws and equations. The ability to interpret and analyze graphs, solve equations, and understand mathematical relationships is crucial for problem solving within this course.
The purpose of the following pretest is to assess students' foundational understanding of key concepts in physics and chemistry, with a particular focus on thermodynamics.
