Laboratory experiments designed to reflect topics presented in courses CHM 101 and CHM 102. These include acid-base titrations, qualitative analysis, redox reactions, gravimetric analysis, data analysis and presentation.

Continuation of CHM 107. Additional laboratory experiments to include functional group analysis, quantitative analysis using volumetric methods.

This introductory course emphasizes quantitative measurements. Experimental techniques. The treatment of measurement errors. Graphical analysis. The experiments include studies of meters, the oscilloscope, mechanical systems, electrical and mechanical resonant systems, light, heat, viscosity, etc. (covered in PHY 101, 102, 103 and PHY 104). However, emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis, and deduction.

This practical course is a continuation of PHY 107 and is intended to be taught during the second semester of the 100 level to cover the practical aspect of the theoretical courses that have been covered with emphasis on quantitative measurements, the treatment of measurement errors, and graphical analysis. However, emphasis should be placed on the basic physical techniques for observation, measurements, data collection, analysis and deduction.

This course introduces new Aerospace Engineering students to the field of AE and to the curriculum. An overview of aerospace engineering from a design perspective. Job role for maintenance staff. Training opportunities and job progression. Introductory aerodynamics, lift, drag and the standard atmosphere. Aircraft performance. History of aviation, meteorology and astronomy. 200 Level

Overview of aerospace engineering from a design and systems perspective. Introductory aerodynamics, lift, drag and the standard atmosphere. Aircraft performance, stability and control. Propulsion. Structures. Rocket and spacecraft trajectories and orbits.

The name MATLAB is an acronym for MATrix LABoratory. MATLAB was written originally to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK (linear system package) and EISPACK (Eigen system package) projects. MATLAB integrates computation, visualisation, programing environment and it has sophisticated data structures, contains built-in editing and debugging tools, and supports object-oriented programming. These factors make MATLAB an excellent tool for teaching and research. MATLAB has many advantages compared to conventional computer languages such as C, FORTRAN which are employed for solving technical problems. It is also an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require dimensioning. Engineering students in our universities can use the software package as a standard tool to meet the 21st century industry worldwide needs. Students will use MATLAB’s powerful built-in routines that are cable of enabling a very wide variety of computations and easy-to-use graphic commands capable of making the visualisation of results immediately available. Students need to be conversant with the toolboxes required for signal processing, symbolic computation, control theory, simulation, optimisation and several other fields of applied science and engineering.
