Welcome to the Infectious Diseases Module!

This course is intended for the fourth-year medical students! The course description will be found in the document called module description.

The aim of this module is to provide students with knowledge of the main psychiatric disorders, commonly used treatments and their side effects, and provide a basis on which students can continue to develop this knowledge. In addition to this, the module is designed to encourage students to develop the appropriate attitudes necessary to respond empathically to psychological distress in all medical settings.

This will be a continuation of the maternal health module introduced in the third year.

The aim of the course is to enable the student to acquire the required level of competence in knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for the clinical and public health practice of obstetrics and gynecology. The course will enable the students to acquire knowledge, skills, and confidence to diagnose and propose management of obstetric and gynecologic conditions, making use of additional measures like laboratory facilities and other diagnostic tools when necessary.

 This course aims to provide the basics of Thermodynamics as applied to Engineering practice. It covers system and surroundings, all thermodynamic laws and air standard gas cycles. Also, it gives the introduction about gas turbine, heat exchanger and internal combustion engine. It gives knowledge of entropy and its change in all the thermodynamic process.

The aim of this course is to familiarize the student with standard design elements and their integration into mechanical systems. It covers 2D and 3D computer graphics. 3D modeling and detail design. To develop an understanding of computer-aided design, analysis, and machining techniques and related these to the design. Designers generally use drawings to represent the object which they are and to communicate the design to others. Of course, they will also use other forms of representation — symbolic and mathematical models, and perhaps three-dimensional physical models — but the drawing is arguably the most flexible and convenient of the forms of representation available. Drawings are useful above all, obviously, for representing the geometrical form of the designed object, and for representing its appearance. Hence, the importance of computer-aided design (CAD) of the production of visual images by computer, that is computer graphics.  In the process of design, technical drawings are used. Drawings explain the design and also establish the link between design and manufacture. The stage of the design and details depends on the designer's skill and experience. Changes in previous designs take a long time because the drawings have to be produced again.
