Aims
The aim of this module is to provide students who may not have studied A-level physics with the prerequisite knowledge regarding mechanics, thermodynamics, materials, fields, electricity and electronics which is required to go on to study for an engineering or technology degree.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply knowledge of force, energy and momentum to analyse the behaviour of simple mechanical systems
2.
Demonstrate an understanding of the properties of materials and ideal gases, and apply the equations that describe their characteristics.
3.
Describe simple fields and their applications mathematically.
4.
Use basic techniques to determine the behaviour of electronic components and
systems.
5.
Describe mathematically the behaviour of reactive components in DC and AC systems
