MODULE DESCRIPTION

The Module aims at providing the student with knowledge and understanding of the construction and operating principles of petrol and diesel engines and their systems. It also aims at imparting practical skills to enable student to carryout engine and engine systems diagnosis and repair.

The broad objective of this module of mathematics is based on helping the students to acquire a required background of ordinary differential equations (1^st and 2^nd order), descriptive statistics and probability with a logical and creative understanding.

Engineering Mechanics is the branch of science which deals with the behavior of a body when the body is at rest or in motion. This course is designed to introduce first year students to the fundamental concept of force systems as well as shape them to practical applications including the analysis of frames machines trusses and beams. In addition related concepts such as friction, centre of gravity, centroid and moment of inertia of different shapes will be taught

Having successfully completed this module, students will be able to read, understand and give the right interpretation of different texts in the field of technology. Students will get opportunities to develop English vocabulary, terms and expressions related to their respective field of technology. They will also be able to express themselves fluently both orally and in writing.
