Course description
This course is designed to introduce students to aspects of physics that a Civil Engineering Technologist must know in order to understand concepts taught in other related Civil Engineering Technology courses. This introductory course will therefore explore the fundamental concepts of physics with respect to such applications as measurement, units, density, force and acceleration, energy, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. An emphasis is placed on problem solving to illustrate the practical application of these concepts of science in technology.
