Unit Code: PSM321

Unit Name: Craft Science for Construction

Description: Upon the completion, students will be able to demonstrate through experiments a basic knowledge of chemical terms, graphically and using calculations, illustrate through calculations and graphical means the effects of acceleration, energy transfer and friction, measure fluid pressure including atmospheric pressure, measure temperature and illustrate through graphical and numeric methods, and solve simple problems associated with the application of electricity in tools and instruments. Generally, provides the students with Introduction to Mechanics, knowledge and expertise required for certificate IV in Plumbing and sheetmetal programmememe.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Relate the knowledge of the elasticity of materials in terms of Hooke\'s Law. 2. Explain and solve problems involving distance, time, velocity and acceleration. 3. Explain and solve problems involving co-planner forces in static equilibrium situations. 4. Describe a basic understanding of heat and temperature. 5. Explain the principles to solve the problems related to current, potential difference and resistance for the simple series and parallel resistive circuits in electricity.
