PARUL UNIVERSITY-FACULTY OF ENGINEERING& TECHNOLOGY
SYLLABUS FOR 1ST YEAR B. TECH. PROGRAMME
ENGINEERING PHYSICS I (SUBJECT CODE: 303192102)
ACADEMIC YEAR 2022-23
Type of Course: COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY,
COMPUTER ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION
ENGINEERING, MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING, ROBOTICS, INSTRUMENTATION AND
CONTROLENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING,
BIOTECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING, INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Prerequisite: Knowledge of Physics and some basic concepts in Mathematics like differentiation,
integration, limit, differential equation, vector calculus up to 12thscience level.
Rationale:Knowledge of physics is essential for all Engineering branch because physics is the
foundation subject of all the branches of engineering and it develops scientific temperament and
analytical capability of engineering students. Comprehension of basic physics concepts enables
the students to solve engineering problem logically and develop scientific approach.
