The Game of Physics is used to assessed students performances. On this game, students are asked to put timer bombs around the screen to ensure that the 'box' will drop onto the floor. The less bomb they used, the less marks will be deducted. Each level of games increases with different dificulty level.
The activity is for all students, both who are a high achiever and low achiever. On this activity, each students can be assessed on their:
1. Thinking Skills,
2. Understanding Level, and
3. Creativity Skills.
All skills can be assessed through the level of games that they can play.
For 'MUST DO' level, LEVEL 1 is the lowest basic level for all students where every one of them can do.
For 'SHOULD DO' level, LEVEL 2-4 is the average level where middle-achiever students can try and can do on.
LEVEL 4 and above is for High Achiever students where they require thinking and analysing. This is the 'COULD DO' level.

Curriculum for PND Mechanical Science
Unit Code PND/MRN/CR/MSC
Unit Title Mechanical Science (MSC)
Unit Status Core
Unit Value 1.0
Learning Time 120 Hours
Pre-requisite None
Exemptions None
Aims of the Unit
1 To develop, through theory, practical and assignment, an understanding of the fundamental mechanical science concepts which will provide a basis for further studies in Engineering and application into day to day engineering problem solving
2 To develop a basic knowledge of the concepts of statics, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and apply these concepts to practical situations
Teaching and Learning Strategies
1 Good safety practices will be emphasised through out the unit and the students will be made fully aware of the hazards associated with laboratory work
2 Practical/laboratory work, through assignments covering both the specifics topics and integrated areas, will be the means of achieving a significant proportion of the objectives. In carrying out such work the students will be made aware of the value of accurate recording of observations and data
3 Industrial visits will be encouraged to facilitate the understanding and learning processes
4 Suitable audio visual aids will be used to support lectures
Assessment Scheme
Assessment will be in accordance with the current BDTVEC Certification & Assessment Policy Guidelines. The weighting of the assessments will be as follows:
Assessment | Skill Area | Weightage |
· Test 1 | 200 – 201 | 40 % |
· Test 2 | 202 – 203 | 40 % |
· Lab. Work/assignment | 200 – 203 | 20 % |
Unit Structure
This Unit Guide is for use by students and teachers as a reference guide. It is organized into Skill Areas, which consist of:
1 Performance Objectives, which state the skill to be acquired
2 Enabling Objectives, which are the elements of skill a student must acquire to perform the Performance Objective competently
3 Performance Standards, which identify the minimum performance a student must demonstrate
for any given performance objective
Suggested Reading
1 W. Embleton, Reed’s heat and Heat Engines for Engineers
2 Reed’s Applied Mechanics for Engineers
3 R. G Meadows, Technician Engineering Science 1
