DEPARTMENT: Mechanical Engineering

COURSE CODE-COURSE NAME: BS-103– Applied Engineering Physics CR: 2-0

COURSE DESCRIPTION: At the end of this course, student will understand the basic concepts
of the core subjects in mechanical engineering.

TEXT AND MATERIALS:

TEXTBOOK
1. Fundamentals of Physics 8th Edition by Halliday Resnick
REFERENCES MATERIAL:
1. Engineering Mechanics Statics7e2012 by J.L. Meriam L.G. Craig.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Following PLOs are addressed in the course:
PLO-I: Engineering Knowledge: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and
engineering to the solution of complex engineering problems.
PLO-2: Problem Analysis: An ability to identify, formulate, research literature and analyse
complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of
mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
CLO-1: Describe the basic concepts of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and modern physics.
(C2-Understand)
CLO-2: Demonstrate how to find centroid and moment of inertia of an object. (C2-Understand)
CLO-3: Apply the basic concepts and solve the problems in mechanics. (C3-Apply)

PRACTICAL APPLICATION:
This course refreshes basic understanding and introduces some new concept relevant to different
fields. It expands students’ knowledge base in the fields such as Mechanics of Materials,
Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics etc.
