8. Aims of the Course
All phenomena in the natural world are measured in terms of a few basic relationships between measurable properties of matter and energy. These relationships are called laws of physics, and they are formulas that are characterized by a high degree of generality and are derived from a large number of phenomena. The goal of physics can be summarized as expressing these basic relationships (these laws) in a mathematical form, so that the student can use the logical rules of mathematics to apply the laws to specific cases and thus obtain quantitative results. The most important laws of physics are in the field of civil engineering, which requires the engineer to know these laws for the purpose of reflecting them on the engineering reality related to mathematics, engineering foundations, fluid movement, hydraulic installations, and others.

It is noticeable that facilities, buildings and construction projects have developed significantly in recent years, and accordingly, the methods of presenting ideas and engineering plans have evolved, and a great deal has been relied on modern technologies such as computers and engineering programs in the presentation of engineering plans. Therefore, this course aims to introduce the student to the methods and tools of paper engineering drawing, how to read diagrams, and ways to find dimensions or shapes that are not shown in the diagram through some of the engineering processes and ideas of engineering drawing. This course is also an important introduction to computer applications of engineering drawing, as the civil engineering specialist will not be able to make the most of the computer unless he is fully familiar with the subject of engineering drawing.

COURSE SPECIFICATION

Prestressed concrete is a type of reinforced concrete that contains reinforcing bars that have been pre-stressed in order to generate initial stresses in the concrete section that are inherently opposite to the stresses that the structure is likely to be exposed to during service use. This is done by pulling (or stringing) a special type of heavy-duty bars to a certain amount inside the concrete and then releasing it after ensuring its impediment from returning to its original position and based on Newton’s laws and other engineering laws that will in turn apply opposite stresses on the concrete, which are the initial stresses that make concrete pre-stressed based

8. Aims of the Course
The course (Engineering Hydrology) aims to introduce the civil engineering student in the fourth stage to the various water sources, especially the sources of water coming from the atmosphere in the form of all forms of precipitation, especially rain. As well as the definition of the relationship of these precipitations to the abundance of fresh water through the study of methods of measuring the amount of rain reaching the surface of the earth and knowing the amount of water that will be lost in the form of evaporation or infiltration into the ground and the relationship of all this to the drainage of rivers and ways to benefit from it in the form of storage in fresh water bodies such as lakes and marshes. Also, one of the course objectives is to introduce the student to groundwater, how to calculate its quantities, and ways to benefit from and preserve it, as it is one of the important water sources.

Estimation is the art of estimating the quantities and construction paragraphs in terms of prices and construction period to the nearest reasonable number, usually before commencing work in order to allocate the expected financial amounts for its implementation.

Estimation is one of the basic tasks of the practicing engineer, through which estimates are made for the cost of construction works and projects. Therefore, the business owner or the project financier gives special importance to the accuracy of cost estimates because of their impact on determining the implementation of project decisions and working to provide the necessary amounts for them. For this reason, the estimated cost estimation processes are considered a source for testing the professional integrity of the engineer as well as the scientific competence of the engineer.
