Civil Engineering: Physics

Physics for Engineers

Topics include material from mechanics: kinematics, dynamics, work and energy, momentum and collisions, rotational motion, static equilibrium, elasticity theory, and simple harmonic motion, mechanical waves, theory of heat and heat transfer, and thermodynamics.

The laboratory portion of physics includes topics such as units of measurement, Newton's laws, work energy and power, momentum and collisions, one- and two-dimensional motion, circular motion and law of gravity, rotational dynamics and static equilibrium, elasticity theory, harmonic motion, theory of heat and heat transfer, thermodynamics, wave motion, and sound.
