At the end of the course, the students will be able to
- understand energy transport at the micro and nanoscale,
- derive the Boltzmann transport equation for phonons, photons, and electrons,
- reduce the Boltzmann transport equation to the radiative transfer equation and the conduction equation,
- solve the radiative transfer equation and the conduction equation for simple geometries,
- read and interpret the literature effectively and use the concepts of energy transport in nanoengineering design and research,
- obtain a multidisciplinary perspective to work effectively in nanotechnology platforms.
