Prerequisite courses: Mathematics 1
6. Course Description
This course provides students with the fundamental physics including mechanics and
thermodynamics as a basic knowledge for approaching major college subjects of study in science,
engineering and technology.
Our students will be trained with the physical knowledge in order to interpret the
movement, the energy and the other physical phenomena related to objects in the nature with a
size from molecular to planet. After this course, they can apply the studied knowledge in
scientific research as well as in engineering development and advanced technology.
The content of this subject consists of chapters from 1 to 22 in the book “Physics for
Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics”, 9th Edition of R.A. Serway and J.W. Jewett.
The goal of this subject helps our students to be familiar with the scientific methods, the
fundamental laws of physics, interpretation of scientific knowledge in general physics and logical
reasoning skills as well as strategies in preparation for learning major subjects according to the
bachelor program for engineers. In order to achieve this goal, this course will focus on the
combination between an understanding of the concepts and necessary skills for solving many
different forms of standard problems (homework) at the end of each chapter.
Besides that, this course will also help our students to understand how to build
mathematical models based on experimental results and know how to analyze, to write, to present
as well as to develop a specific model based on the recorded data. They can use this model to
predict the results of other experiments. Simultaneously, they will know limits of the model and
can use it in the prediction.
