Course Overview
This course fosters an understanding of the basic principles of engineering science that later will be taught separately about: thermodynamics, mechanical science, and electrotechnology. The course will introduce a student to the SI units and explain: mass, volume, density, kinematics, dynamics, friction, energy, work, power, fluids, and heat.
