This course is designed to meet the French language needs of our future engineering professionals who have the prospects of working with international organisations, both locally and internationally. The course is, therefore, to help these future professionals to be able to develop basic communicative competencies both orally and in writing, in scientific, technological and general French, to be able to interact with their French speaking colleagues in real communication situations. The course is also designed to create and sustain the interest of engineering students in the French language for further development after their programmes of study, for academic and specific purposes.
Basic communicative concepts of the French language and culture introduced to students in the first semester, will be enhanced and built upon in this second semester.
"Learning
another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but
learning another way to think about things."

This course is a continuation of BASIC FRENCH 142. It builds on previously acquired skills to equip students with resources for basic communication in French. The course involves both theory and practice, both of which shall count for final assessment.
This course reviews the fundamental principles of electrical theory as applied to electrical circuits and devices such as resistors, inductors, capacitors and transformers. The general topics covered in this unit include the basic electrical quantities and their units of measurement; electrical circuits; electromagnetism and AC currents and voltages.
At the end of the course the student should have basic knowledge of electric current and electronics in order to understand the operation of the fundamental electrical and electronic circuits.
Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also include any number of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur).
Instrumentation and control engineering (ICE) is a branch of engineering that studies the measurement and control of process variables, and the design and implementation of systems that incorporate them. Process variables include pressure, temperature, humidity, flow, pH, force and speed.
Instrumentation Automation system used are Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Distributed Control System (DCS), Remote Terminal Unit (RTU), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
Course Objectives
• The course should equip student perform the following;
• Vector and scalar representation of forces and moments.
• Draw Free body diagram
• Static equilibrium analysis particles and rigid bodies both in two and three dimensions.
• Determine the effect of friction in equilibrium. Apply the concept in machines
• Apply the equations of motion to dynamics systems (Kinetic and Kinematics)
• They would also understand the principle of work and energy
Course Outline
• Unit 1: Fundamental Concepts: Newton’s Laws of Motion;
• Unit2: Force systems and characteristics of forces; moment of a force; Vector representation of
forces and moments.
• Unit3: Basic statics: Equilibrium of rigid bodies in two and three-dimensions.
• Unit4: Structural Analysis: the method of joints and the method of sections.
• Unit5: Friction: Simple Machines;
