2015
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject provides some general principles of engineering science that underpin engineering applications. Topics covered in this subject include: Newton's Law of Motion; Laws of Thermodynamics; conservation ofenergy and mechanical properties of materials. Studying through these topics, a conceptual understanding of the natural and physical sciences,mathematics, and information technology as well as skills to design and conduct experiments and to analyse and interpret data to draw conclusions that underpin civil engineering will be developed.
