A solid Physical ability at a basic level is essential for the
understanding of the principles and the application of
techniques in Engineering science. The aim of the
module is to develop the student's Physical knowledge
and to provide the student with all the necessary
techniques and methods for the analysis and solutions
of problems in Engineering fields
