Science and engineering courses

Science and engineering problems are calculations first: a unit to convert, a table of values, a formula applied row by row. These science and engineering courses let you do that work in a spreadsheet that checks every cell, so you find the step where an answer goes wrong instead of only seeing that the final number is off. The labs build tables and charts you can reuse for homework, lab reports and projects.

Physics with Spreadsheets covers SI units and significant figures, kinematics, projectile motion, Newton's second law with friction, work and energy, momentum and collisions, circular motion and orbits, and a pendulum simulated step by step. Chemistry Calculations with Spreadsheets goes from molar mass and moles to empirical formulas, stoichiometry and the limiting reagent, percent yield, dilutions, the ideal gas law and pH. Engineering Economics in Excel compares machines and public projects with interest factors, present and annual worth, incremental rate of return, the benefit/cost ratio, MACRS depreciation, replacement analysis and break-even hours. The courses suit high school and university students, engineering students preparing for an engineering economy exam, and teachers who want worked spreadsheet examples.

Frequently asked questions

Do these courses replace a chemistry or physics class?

No. They are practice for the calculations, best used next to a textbook or class. Each lab explains the formula it uses, and the chemistry course covers calculations only, not lab procedures or safety.

Is Engineering Economics useful for the FE exam?

The course practises topics that engineering economy exams test, such as interest factors, present and annual worth, rate of return, benefit/cost ratios and depreciation. It is independent practice, not an official exam preparation course.

Do I need Excel or programming skills?

No. Every lab runs in a spreadsheet in your browser, and the few functions needed, such as SUMPRODUCT, XLOOKUP, LOG10 and NPV, are explained when they appear. No coding is required.
