Study Objectives (General)
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This class is organized by experimental works based on three subjects, Physics of force and motion,
Hydraulics, and Basic soil engineering. Students will be expected to learn the basic theory
about Newtonian mechanics, hydraulics, and soil engineering through various experiments.
Physics of force and motion experiment will offer some experimental techniques to understand physical phenomenon related to strain-stress and rigid-body motion and its theory
we actually experience in our daily life.
Hydraulics experiment will give the opportunities to conduct hydraulic model experiments related to the water environment in agricultural land. Students will be expected tounderstand the basic theory of hydraulic phenomenon and to learn the basic technique of hydraulic measurement.
Basic soil engineering experiment will offer some experimental techniques to determine the basic soil properties indispensable to design and construction in geoengineering.
All personnel are required to have a complete understanding of the procedures in this class.
Also, all are required to have a cooperative activity through the group works in this class.
Study Objectives (Specific) The course aims to achieve the following:
