SCIE-1015Applied Science
This course is designed to provide students with the underpinning theory of properties of water, metals and alloys; hydrodynamics, hydrostatics and pneumatics; and simple machines that are common in the plumbing trade. Students learn to relate topics such as states of matter, heat and temperature, sensible and latent heat, temperature conversion, specific heat, relative density, pH, hardness, M.A. efficiency, current, circuits, corrosion, conductivity, expansion, physical and mechanical properties of metals and alloys, hydraulics and pneumatic concepts to the plumbing field.
