The Faculty of Engineering at Strathclyde is delighted to offer, Physics for Engineers.
This short course seeks to explore general principles of physics for those considering a career in engineering. It will provide tangible physics examples and principles set within the context of Engineering.
The course will be taught exclusively online and is fully funded through the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), together with support from Allan Glen’s School Education Charity, which enables us to offer it free of charge to learners who are domiciled in Scotland.
What you'll learn
The course aims to provide an understanding of physics and investigate the applications of physics in the context of engineering. The course focuses on physics topics relevant to a range of engineering disciplines and aims to develop a solid foundation of physics applicable to common engineering problems. The course encourages analytical thinking, solving problematic situations and making reasoned evaluations.
There will be 4 main sections, covering generic physics skills relevant across a broad range of engineering disciplines:
