Educational Aims
The aims of the module are primarily to provide preliminary year science and engineering students who are enrolled in the International Pathway programme with the necessary skills required for the study of engineering qualifying year (Year 2) programmes in the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FoSE).Through this module, the student will be able to solve set problems and hence demonstrate an understanding of basic mechanical, electrical, and magnetic principles that form a foundation level of Physics for scientists and engineers; will demonstrate their ability to collect, analyse and evaluate experimental data relating to advanced physics, with emphasis placed on engineering based application; and will demonstrate practical skills to conduct basic science experiments in relation to the laboratory sessions on Newton’s Law of motion observation, simple electrical DC circuit construction, and using optical instruments to demonstrate light as an electromagnetic wave.Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding of the underpinning concepts used in the solution to problems in the field of basic mechanical, electrical, and magnetic principles;
Intellectual skills to select and apply appropriate methods when solving given mechanics and electromagnetism problems;
Professional practical skills such as to collect, analyse and evaluate experimental data collected from the laboratory sessions;
Transferable (key) skills including presentation of experimental data and lab findings through written reports, improvement of the communication skills within the context of science and engineering, as well as to apply related mechanics/electromagnetism theories into solving real-life engineering problems.
