2. Course description
This course consist of three parts as follows:
- Part 1: Types of oscillation including harmonic oscillation, damped oscillation, periodic
oscillation, forced oscillation of the mechanical and electromagnetic oscillators;
- Part 2: Concepts and principles of wave including mechanical waves, wave function, wave
energy, wave propagation, phase/group velocity of wave, principle of overlapping wave and
interference, sound wave, ultrasound wave, Doppler effect, electromagnetic waves and
properties of electromagnetic waves.
- Part 3: Concepts and principles of wave optics, including: interference,
diffraction, polarization and quantum optics.
Moreover, this course will help students develop skills in using English.
3. Course Objectives
3.1 General Course Objective
Help learners to be able to teach, research and work in fields related to Oscillations and
waves at educational institutions, career units and businesses, as well as learn related modules
and lifelong learning. In addition, the course also helps learners develop some soft skills.
3.2 Specific Course Objectives (COs)
- CO1: knowledge about Vibration, Wave and Optics for career activities and lifelong
learning;
- CO2: soft skills, English skills, creative thinking, ability to inspire and adapt to the
changing working environment;
- CO3: professional qualities and ethics.
4. Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)
After completing the course, students will be able to:

5. Matrix of course learning outcomes (CLOs) and program learning outcomes

(PLOs):
The level of contribution and support of CLOs to the PLO is specifically determined as follows:
 Fill in one of the levels I, R, M or leave blank (if there is no connection) and enter A in the
corresponding box

Note:
- I (Introduced) – CLO supports the PLO and at the level of introduction/beginners
- R (Reinforced) – CLO supports the PLO and at the level higher than the level of
introduction/beginners, giving chances for practice, experiment and fieldtrips
- M (Mastery) – CLO strongly supports learners in mastering/ grasping or achieving
PLO/ PI. If the learner successfully completes this CLO, it is considered that the learner has
mastered a program indicator (PI) of the PLO or even mastered the entire PLO.
- A (Assessed) – Critical CLO (maximum support for PLO achievement) needs to be
collected to measure how well learners achieve the PLO
6. Course assessment

6.1 Methods and forms of testing - assessment of the course

Student learning outcomes are assessed by the following components: formative assessment,
mid-term assessment, end-of-term assessment, and other assessment activities.
