This laboratory course provides hands-on experience in fundamental principles of mechanics, electricity, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics through a series of experiments. Topics include oscillatory motion, rotational dynamics, Newton’s Second Law of Motion, electrical circuits, Wheatstone bridge, transformers, RLC circuits, specific heat capacity of solids, and aerodynamic forces. Students will develop practical skills in experimental techniques, data collection, data and uncertainty analysis, and technical report writing while reinforcing theoretical concepts through laboratory investigations.
This
course introduces the fundamental principles of statics and their applications
in engineering analysis. Topics include forces and vector operations, statics
of particles, moments and couples in two dimensions, and equilibrium of rigid
bodies. Students will also learn the analysis of trusses, frictional effects in
engineering systems, determination of centroids and center of gravity, and
calculation of area moments of inertia. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving
techniques and the application of static equilibrium principles to engineering
structures and mechanical systems.
This
course introduces fundamental concepts in classical and modern physics,
focusing on the behavior of matter and energy in various physical systems.
Students will explore periodic motion and oscillations, including simple
harmonic motion and damping effects, as well as the properties and behavior of
waves, standing waves, and electromagnetic waves. The course also examines
thermal physics through the study of temperature, heat transfer, kinetic theory
of gases, and the first law of thermodynamics, emphasizing the relationships
between heat, work, and energy. In addition, the course provides an
introduction to modern physics by covering the principles of quantum physics,
atomic structure, nuclear physics, and radioactivity. Students will gain an
understanding of atomic models, nuclear reactions, radioactive decay processes,
and their practical applications in science and technology. Through theoretical
discussions, problem-solving activities, and practical applications, the course
aims to develop analytical thinking and a strong foundation in physics for
further study in science and engineering fields.
