The course aims to provide the basics of Mechanics of Materials as applied to Engineering practice.

The Mechanics of Materials course delivered here combines the essential of both Engineering Mechanics (Statics and Dynamics) and Strength of Materials previously delivered in the old Civil Engineering program. Therefore, both rigid bodies and deformable bodies are studied taking into account all necessary details..

This has three major parts: Statics, dynamics and strength of materials

The statics part covers the following topics: Force system in 1D, 2D & 3D, equilibrium of a particle and equilibrium of a force in 1D, 2D & 3D, truss analysis ( both methods of joints & sections), properties of areas (centre of gravity, centroid & moment of inertia), and friction.

The dynamics part covers the following topics: Rectilinear and curvelinear motions (in kinematics), equation of motion, angular momentum, work and energy, and impulse and momentum (in kinetics).

The strength of materials part covers the following topics: Mechanical properties of materials, simple stresses and strains, elastic constants, strain energy, geometrical properties of sections, compound stresses and strains, shear force and bending moment, bending stresses in beams, combined direct and bending stresses, deflection of beams, and torsion.

This course is the pre-request in any engineering field particularly in transportation engineering.

The purpose of this module is to help students get acquainted with the essential features of the Drainage structures design and help them understand why the drainage system is important in transportation, different types of drains, their classifications by function, how they are constructed;  and finally make them be able to recognize the symptoms of bad drainage and suggest ways of improvement by considering design standards and principles, local people's traditional customs, hydrologic and hydraulic principles, the topography of the region and aspects of economic costs.

Dear Students,

You are welcome to this module entitled "Pavement Design and Rehabilitation". This module provides an introduction to transportation engineering, understanding on principles of pavement design, performance criteria and functional characteristics of road pavements. It provides an understanding and knowledge on design of pavements, maintenance of highways and Rehabilitation Techniques. The students finally will be given a real world design project based on field data.

Welcome to the course of Botany.

Botany is life science which deals with plants. It is different from zoology which deals with Animals.The subject of botany deals with the study of plants from many points of view such the internal and external structures of all kinds of plants from the simplest to the most complex forms their diverse functions, especially with regard to the manufacture of food, including  mode of respiration, various kinds of movements exhibited by them, their modes of reproduction, conducting of water and food through plant body, etc ; their adaptation to diverse conditions of the environment; their distribution in space and time; their life history, relationship with other plants and classification into natural groups; their evolution from the lower and simpler forms to the of heredity (inheritance of characters by the oft spring); the varied uses that plants may be put to and the different methods that can be adapted to improve plants is the direction of better quality and linger yield, and even to produce new types of plants for better uses by mankind.

This module aims to guide all UR students who are using e-learning where you will be introduced to the basics of participating in an online course or as part of your regular class. The actual appearance on screen is governed by settings on your own computer plus what courses you are enrolled in, and as a result what you see may be slightly different from that shown in the examples.

Please follow the steps in the order shown until you have completed the sections on entering the course and basic navigation.

The module of Environmental Planning and Management, GEO3263, aims to provide the students with theoretical and practical knowledge enabling them to identify environmental problems and apply the principles of environmental planning and management in order to propose solutions responding to sustainable development. 

Dear students, welcome to the module of Developmental and Gross Veterinary Anatomy I. It is a 20 credits module covered in Veterinary Medicine year 1, semester 1. This module provides basic knowledge on embryonic development, the basic systems such as bones, muscles and internal organs and systems.

This module is very important for the Veterinary training as it prepares for further professional courses such as Physiology, Pathology, Surgery, Theriogenology, etc... 

At the end of this module, students should be able to clearly describe different stages of the embryonic development, describe different bones, muscles and organs, and provide their clinical importance.

Welcome to VET1283:Veterinary Histology! Also known as microscopic anatomy, histology is the study of cells and tissues. The main objective of this module is for the veterinary students to learn how the four basic kinds of tissues (epithelial tissues, connective tissue and mesenchymal cells, muscle and nervous tissues) are assembled into the different organs and organ systems of the body. Students will be asked to learn a large number of new vocabulary words and to develop the “microscopic eye” for details that help them tell cells and structures apart. Additionally, this module will serve as a “teaser” to General Pathology which follows this module and emphasizes the pathophysiology of disease through the microscopic study of diseased tissue.

This module aims at equipping students with knowledge and critical understanding of how fundamental functions of the different cells, tissues, organs and organ systems of the body are integrated into a living whole. This course focuses on the fundamental physiologic regulatory mechanisms that integrate and control the actions of cells, tissues, organs and organ systems of the body.
