Computer Engineering
Course Name: Principles of Physics
Course Code: 1010253104
Semester: 1st/2nd
Prerequisite:
1. Basic Physics Knowledge for Semiconductors
Course Objectives:
1. Physics in Digital electronics is essential to understanding the design and working of a wide range of
applications, from consumer and industrial electronics to communications; from embedded systems, and
computers to security and military equipment. As the devices used in these applications decrease in size
and employ more complex technology, it is essential for engineers and students to fully understand both
the fundamentals and also the implementation and application principles of digital electronics, devices
and integrated circuits, thus enabling them to use the most appropriate and effective technique to suit their
technical needs. To acquire fundamental knowledge about nature and its phenomena including
quantitative expression and also to enhance intellectual, computational, experimental, communication and
analytical skills of the students. Physics is necessary to satisfy the basic sciences requirement, as
appropriate for particular Computer and Information Technology Engineering disciplines
