This module covers fundamental principles in Physics to address issues of technological importance in science and engineering, in particular, the applications of scientific principles to practical devices and systems. This module aims to equip students with a set of analytical tools that may be used to forge the link between the structure and properties of materials in order to yield, at the emerging technology level and to enhance the material performance. Students will learn about key concepts and applications in a range of topics which include an introduction to electrical, magnetic, optical, acoustic, mechanical properties of materials, and nuclear physics.
