SYNOPSIS

ENGINEERING SCIENCE is an applied science with theoretical concepts and practical

learning sessions that can be applied in the engineering fields. This course focuses on
the Physical Quantities, Measurement, Linear Motion, Force, Work, Energy, Power,
Solid, Fluid, Temperature and Heat.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. solve the basic engineering science problems by using related concept.

(C3, LD1)

2. organise an appropriate experiments to prove related physic principles. (P3,

LD2)

3. apply related physic principles in various situations to enhance knowledge. (C3,

LD1)

SUMMARY (LECTURE : PRACTICAL)

SST RTA

1.0 PHYSICAL QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENT (04 : 02)

 This topic introduces physical quantities which are consisting of
base and derived quantities. Physical Quantities also categorized
into of scalar and vector quantities. Conversion of
physical quantities also will be explained. Students will be exposed to use
measurement equipment and right measurement techniques

2.0 LINEAR MOTION (06 : 03)

This topic explains about linear motion which includes displacement, velocity,
and acceleration. The methods of
problem-solving of linear motion using formulas and graphs will be shown.
Students will be exposed to identify displacement, velocity and
acceleration.

3.0 FORCE (06 : 03)

This topic explains about forces, Newton’s Second Laws and moment of forces
which is applied in equilibrium. Problem-
solving using resolution method to find the resultant force will be explained.

4.0 WORK, ENERGY AND POWER (04 : 02)

This topic explains about the relationship between work, energy and power.
Students will be exposed to energy changes and mechanical efficiency.

5.0 SOLID AND FLUID (06 : 03)

This topic explains about solid and fluid materials. Students will be
exposed to density and pressure. Pascal’s and Archimedes’
Principles will be described.

6.0 TEMPERATURE AND HEAT (04 : 02)

This topic describes temperature and heat. Students will be exposed

to the process of heat transfer. They will be able to solve problems related to
heat quantity and specific heat capacity.
