COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In this course, you will learn the basic skills required by the electrical engineers. The course
is designed to let student acquire the knowledge of engineering mechanics and
thermodynamics. Initially, you will learn the basic safety and health regulations. Although
most of the topics like vectors, scalars, Newton’s laws, momentum, etc would be covered
but more emphasis would be given on stress, strain and their application, fly wheel, bearing
and coupling and their applications. Laws of thermodynamics would be studied in detail.
