PHY094 : Foundation physics I / Faculty of Applied Sciences

This is the first of the two-semester course in Foundation Physics for students at the Centre of Foundation Studies. This 5 credit course is focuses on the basic knowledge in areas of mechanics, solids and fluids, waves and sounds, and thermal physics. Applications in various areas will be discussed. The purpose of this course is to provide students with strong physics concepts, analytical and problem-solving skills and to expose students to the scientific analytical analysis in order to develop long-term retention of principles and practice needed in their future studies by thorough guidance methods, in-class exercises, group project and lab work. By the end of this course, students are expected to acquire and apply knowledge of physics to respective fields of medicine, health, environment, agriculture, industry and engineering.
