greetings to everyone!
I find out this forum via facebook. I am a mechanical engineer (passed the board exams on october 1994) and am currently working in the government sector. My problems started when I was sweet talked (over a couple of drinks) by the engineering dean of a state college in our province to teach thermodynamics (part time) to Agricultural Engineering Students this semester.
My problem is not so much on my competency to tackle the subject even if I am sixteen years removed from opening any engineering books on consistent basis. My problem is on the syllabus or the topics I had to cover up that has relevance to agricultural engineering course. The dean did not provide me any, and just told me to just follow the book. I might be shortchanging my students If I tried to teach them what is not appropriate to their course. I have no problem with this on the first few chapters as they are all applicable to all engineering students of any discipline.
I am now teaching processes of fluids which is chapter 7(thermodynamics by Faires & Simmang 6th edition) and in the succeeding chapters, I think I should be selective on what to teach them since there is no way that we could tackle the whole topics covered in this book before the semester ends.
If by chance any member of this forum knows the syllabus in thermodynamics for agricultural engineering or they have access to documents in any school offering agricultural engineering, then I would be very glad for help they could provide.
Our province is remote and have no bookstore for engineering books tried searching the net but could not find any. Should you have reviewer for agricultural engineering board exams that contains the subject thermo, I would be glad if you email me electronics copy of it, this way I could have idea what to topics to prioritize.

Cheers,
