The course introduces students to the range of engineering disciplines and the engineering method of problem-solving, as well as sustainability and other issues associated with the practice of engineering. Since a key attribute of successful professional engineers is the ability to communicate effectively, the course focuses on improving core engineering communication skills. The course also covers the fundamentals of engineering graphics. It uses the latest release of Auto computer-aided design (AutoCAD) software commonly used in industry to introduce students to AutoCAD interface, structure, and commands.

This course provides students with a broad introduction into 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and modeling with a focus on construction- and architecture-specific applications. Students will learn how to use industry-leading CAD software programs (Autodesk AutoCAD and Trimble SketchUp) to model construction projects, and then create and distribute basic, industry-standard architectural drawings.

This course introduces students to Atomic and Modern Physics, Thermal conductivity and Optics. The atomic physics section considers the study of the structure of the atom as an isolated system of electrons and a nucleus, its energy states and the effect of electric and magnetic fields. The course treats the dual nature of light and discusses light-matter interactions as well as the production, detection and application of x-rays.

This is the practical component of ENP 203 and is designed to help students improve on their hands-on experience with laboratory equipment. The experiments are mainly focused on wave phenomena, thermal conductivity and nuclear radiations (alpha, beta and gamma) detection. Students are introduced to a more formal way of presenting laboratory reports.

The course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the basic concepts in solving numerical problems using computer languages. Students will learn to code in languages such as Fortran, MatLab and Octave. This would enable students to simulate physics concepts.

This course has been designed as a follow-up to ENP 313 (Material Science I). It is mainly devoted to the construction and interpretation of phase diagrams for alloy system, how alloys relate to their microstructures and the kinetics of phase transformation.  Different crystal growth techniques will be considered.  The course also discusses some commercial alloys, their properties and use limitations.  There will be an overview of the optical, thermal, electrical and magnetic properties of engineering materials. 

This course is to explore the development and experimental foundations of nuclear and particle Physics. Emphasis is on radiations, fundamental forces and particles.

Other topics that will be covered include the transmission of EM waves in the Ionosphere and Optical Properties of Electric Fields.

This course is naturally dependent on the physics and properties of semiconductors themselves. It treats devices in which both electrons and holes are involved in the transport processes. The main part of the course focuses on the types of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETS) and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) devices which are the main types of semiconductor devices on the market. The use of transistor devices and their design will also be discussed. Also discussed are some contemporary solid state devices such as light-emitting diodes, injection lasers and solar cells.
