This course is aimed at enabling students to attain an understanding of the fundamental principles of the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. Students will be able to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems under dynamic conditions. The course includes the use of computational software to solve numerical problems. Description: Motions of particles and rigid bodies, and the forces that accompany or cause those motions. It will involve Newton's laws, the work and energy principle, and the impulse and momentum principle. Impulse and Momentum. Kinematics of Rigid Bodies.

This course covers differentiation and integration of functions of multiple variables and their applications in engineering. These mathematical tools and methods are used extensively in the physical sciences, engineering, economics, and computer graphics.

The main objective of Academic Writing I is to equip students with the language skills that will enable them to read and write effectively.Students will be taken initially through fundamental issues in grammar and composition to consolidate their language skills in these areas. Subsequently, reading and writing skills relevant to university work will be introduced. These will include the structure of the essay, unity, completeness and coherence in essay writing, summarizing as a skill basic to exposition, writing from sources, referencing skills and avoiding plagiarism.

The main purpose of the course is to give students a foundation on how physical phenomena from nature (real life) are modelled (into mathematics) for engineering applications. The course introduces students to theories of vibrations and waves, electricity and magnetism and modern physics. The course provides students with a foundation on how to model real-life scenario for engineering designs. For vibrations and waves, the focus is on generation and propagation.
