Course Objectives: The purpose of this course is to make familiar with fundamentals of mechanics and how do they function in solving problems.
Pre-requisites:
Student Learning Outcomes:
In this course students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of fundamentals laws of mechanics and also learn the important laws of Mechanics such
as Newtons Law, conservation of energy, elasticity, concept of central forces and important properties of liquids through interactive learning.
Students will demonstrate the ability, to think critically and to use appropriate concepts to analyze qualitatively problems or situations involving the
application of the fundamental principles of physics to real world situations
Students will analyze numerous examples of qualitative and quantitative solutions to real world problems that demonstrate the importance of the
material being learned and how it might be applied to real world situations
