TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION EXAMINATION (TVEE)

ADVANCED LEVEL. EXAMINATION SCHEME FOR 7155: ENGINEERING SCIENCE.

1. INTRODUCTION.

1-1 Engineering is the art of adapting materials and / or energy for society’s needs. Engineers design products and systems, produce them and monitor their usage.
1-2 Engineering Science is made up of aspects of the Physical Sciences and their application to technology and Engineering principles, processes and practices.
1-3 Advanced Level Engineering Science is intended for students of the higher Secondary school level or technicians in industries who wish to carry out further studies in
engineering.
