SPECIFIC COURSE INFORMATION

a. Course Description
A calculus-based course that serves as a foundation for the higher engineering subjects. Focus is on v
application on kinematics and dynamics, work, energy and power, impulse and momentum, elasticity and oscilla
fluid statics and dynamics, heat transfer, electricity and magnetism, sound waves and optics. It aims to provid
students with knowledge and skills to explore and verify learned theories through experimentation/labor
activities, and demonstrate analytical, critical and creative thinking skills in solving related engineering problems

b. Prerequisites Calculus 1
Co-requisites Calculus 2
c. Course Classification
(Required/elective/ Required
selected elective)
SPECIFIC GOALS FOR THE COURSE
a. Course Objective

laws and problems that can be applied in their field of specialization.

b. Course Outcomes
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate scientific thinking and the capacity to approach scientific materials intelligently.
2. Utilize scientific concepts, laws and theories in solving calculus-based problems related to their field
specialization.
3. Convey a general understanding of physics as a way of looking at the world and improving one’s life.
4. Infer appropriate conclusions based upon the results of experiment
5. Reflect on personal transformation along the TIP graduate attributes, specifically, professional competence
critical thinking skills.
c. Student Outcomes Addressed by the Course
After completing this course, the students must be able to:
1. Use calculus to solve problems in force statics and kinematics; and work and energy;
2. Apply the law of conservation of energy and Newton’s laws of Motion in solving problems on imp
momentum, and collisions.
3. Determine stress and strain on a body.
4. Solve simple harmonic applications.
5. Describe fluids at rest and in motion.
6. Find solution to basic problems in fluid statics and kinematics.
7. Distinguish between conduction, convection, and radiation.
8. Calculate for the rate of heat transfer.
9. Compute the electric force and field between electric charges.
10. Define electric current, electric resistance and voltage.
11. Analyze simple and complex circuits using Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s law.
12. Discuss the properties of waves, modes of vibration of strings and air columns.
13. Relate principles of magnetism to magnetic field and torque problems.
14. Show how image is formed by mirrors and lenses.
