Aim(s) of Course : Covers the fundamental concepts of classical and modern physics. The main source of all the natural sciences is physics. To give students basic concepts and principles of physics in a clear and logical manner. Also to provide a wide range of interesting applications to real-world perspective and understanding of basic principles and concepts of physics by stating the reality that it is impossible to solve the given problems without perceiving the basic principles of physics, emphasizing the importance of correct understanding of the topics. In addition, to demonstrate the role of physics on engineering science field through practical samples in order to popularize physics students.
