Advanced lab in flow and energy systems
Also listed as: מעבדה מתקדמת בזרימה ומערכות אנרגיה
The experimental counterpart to the CFD lab: wind tunnel, turbomachinery and thermal systems, with uncertainty analysis treated as part of the result rather than an afterthought.

מעבדה בסימולציות נומריות בזרימה ומעבר חום
A computational fluid dynamics lab where you run the solver, not watch it. Mesh, boundary conditions, turbulence model, convergence, and then the part nobody teaches: deciding whether the answer is true.

The honours research project, and the most direct on-ramp to a thesis in the catalogue. You pick a supervisor, produce results, and frequently continue the same problem into a masters.

The continuation of the honours project, where the results get deep enough to defend. Under the direct track this is already the first part of the masters thesis.

Thermodynamics 2

The second thermodynamics course, where cycles give way to real substances, mixtures and combustion. It is the anchor of the energy track and the reason most energy electives are open to you at all.

We also write the summaries.
This map tells you what a course contains. The summaries, the tutoring and the people who already took it are the part you get by joining.
The topic outlines are not official syllabi. The university publishes a catalogue blurb per course, not lecture-by-lecture material, so each outline describes what a course of that name, at those hours, with those prerequisites teaches at engineering schools generally, cross-checked against the standard textbook for the subject. Treat it as an informed map, not as a transcript of the lectures.
