Relationships with occupations
Essential knowledge
Thermal materials is an essential knowledge of the following occupations:
Thermal engineer: Thermal engineers design systems which provide heating or cooling, using thermodynamics, that transfer heat or energy through liquids and gases. They also construct these systems, and perform test to ensure proper functionality.
Optional knowledge
Thermal materials is optional for these occupations. This means knowing this knowledge may be an asset for career advancement if you are in one of these occupations.
Mechanical engineer: Mechanical engineers research, plan and design mechanical products and systems and supervise the fabrication, operation, application, installation and repair of systems and products. They research and analyse data.
