Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Learning Activities
Classroom learning activities involve the following topics from the Applied Physics:
Electromagnetism
Motion
Light and matter
Atoms and nuclei
Heating
Simulated work activities to consolidate the theory and concepts in relation to identifying effects of energy on machinery and materials in electrotechnology environment.
It is expected that students would require approximately 20% of course hours to be allocated for independent study to do project research on effects of energy on machinery and materials in an electrotechnology environment.
