I'm more interested in the thermo stuff. What are you covering?

4 weeks into the semester and this guy is still talking about the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, etc.
I learned all of this within the first 2 weeks of Fluid Mechanics, teach me something new! :|

Is it a pure thermodynamics course or does it also cover statistical mechanics (e.g., counting the micro/macrostates of an ideal gas)?

Pure macroscopic approach. The syllabus states its an intro to basic engineering thermo... so I guess there won't be much to learn 🙁
