This course provides an introduction to the physical world concepts that will be required in following Mechanical Engineering courses and in professional applications. The course objectives are as follows:
1. Working knowledge of fundamental physics and basic electrical and mechanical engineering principles to include advanced knowledge in one or more engineering disciplines.
2. The ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering physics problems.
3. The ability to formulate, conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments in engineering physics.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]At the end of this course, the students will be able to:
CLO-1: Comprehend the fundamental laws of physics relevant to the engineering sciences (i.e. mechanical, electrical engineering etc.). (C1)
CLO-2: Apply knowledge of basic physical laws to solve various problems of applied nature. (C3)
CLO-3: Analyze different physical problems using the laws of physics from different areas like mechanics and thermodynamics. (C4)[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”COURSE CONTENTS” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1666784530168{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
