(if any)
8 Course Learning Outcomes (CLO): At the end of the course the students will be able to... (example) explain the basic principles of immunisation (C2,PLO1)

CLO1 Interpret the concept of specific heat capacity, specific latent heat, internal energy and the gas equation and relate with an application for example, space technology.
CLO2 Apply a concept of nuclear decay that relate to the approach of nuclear medicine and carbon dating.
CLO3 Implement a concept of simple harmonic motion and damping with an application to, for example, the construction of buildings in earthquake zones.
CLO4 Interpret of gravitational fields, astronomical observations, the formation and evolution of stars and the history and the future of the universe.
