Semester 1

 

The course aims to provide the underpinning knowledge in Engineering Drawing and enable the students to produce high quality engineering drawing using manual and computer aided drafting techniques.

The course aims to provide the fundamental underpinning knowledge in Physics mainly related to the topics on measurements, motion, energy, power, optics and sound.

The course aims to introduce the students to the basic concepts of engineering chemistry which form an integral part of those majoring in Engineering and an essential background for those majoring in other disciplines

The course aims to equip the graduates with problem solving, programming skills and to apply real time programming approaches in all engineering disciplines through any latest computer programming languages like python.

The course aims to provide an understanding and awareness of workplace hazards, risks and industrial safety and to impart necessary skills and competence.

Semester 2

Prerequisite:FPMP0003

The course aims to equip and enhance the students with hands on structured experience on basic engineering practices adhering to safety regulations.

Prerequisite:PHYS1110
The course aims to provide the fundamental underpinning knowledge in Physics mainly related to the topics on electricity, electromagnetism, heat, thermodynamics and modern physics.

The course aims to introduce students to renewable energy resources: availability, potential and suitability as a substitute for conventional energy resources for future energy demands.

Prerequisite:UNEN1102

Semester 1

 

The course aims to deals with the introduction to surveying that includes definition of surveying, types of surveying and the surveying instruments. It follows with the discussion of the errors and mistakes in surveying measurement and simple statistics as well for determining the precision, accuracy, and most probable value. It will be followed by discussing the measurements of horizontal and vertical distances, angles, and direction. Finally, traverse computation and area computation by different methods are also discussed.

The course aims to covers basic cartographic rules such as map object classification, generalization, symbolization in topographic and thematic map design. Develops critical thinking on maps and design of maps by using different tools of cartography.

This course aims to introduce basic concepts of geodesy such as different earth model and coordinate system used in the surveying.

Prerequisite:MATH1200
