The strength of materials is basic engineering subject that must be understood by anyone concerned with the strength and physical performance of structures, whether those structures are man-made or natural. The subject matter includes such fundamental concepts as stresses and strains, deformations and displacements, elasticity and inelasticity, strain energy, and load-carrying capacity. These concepts underlie the design and analysis of a huge variety of mechanical and structural systems.
This module has two components that are fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
Fluid Mechanics helps learners to understand the basic principles of statics and dynamics with simple applications.
Thermodynamics describes the basics concepts of Heat, work and Energy as applied to engineering practices, system and surroundings as well as thermodynamic laws.

This module builds on the knowledge acquired in the scientific courses to provide the students with an understanding of the working principles of electronic devices and circuits. It covers Semiconductor materials, Diodes, Rectifiers, and Power Supplies, Transistors, Special electronic devices and applications, Single-stage and multistage amplifiers, Differential and Tuned Amplifiers, Feedback amplifiers, and oscillators.
Although I will post all course material on this UR e-learning platform, I have also created a custom website specifically for this course. The website is hosted on my personal web server (https://qiriro.com/epe2165). It will mirror the content posted on this platform and should be used as backup when the UR e-learning platform is inaccessible.
