Application of
principles of mechanics to engineering problems of motion
and acceleration. Topics
include plane motion, forces, masses, acceleration, work
and energy, and impulse and momentum, planar
kinetics, and three-dimensional kinetics of rigid bodies.
Completion of ENGR 2033 and MATH 2343 or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2343.
Engineering Mechanics Dynamics 8e by J. L
Meriam & L. G Kraige (Wiley) "REQUIRED"
•Demonstrate the
ability to solve problems related to Statics in an
accurate, organized and neat manner.
• Demonstrate understanding of kinematics (geometrical
aspects) of particle motion
• Apply Newtons Laws using force and acceleration to
determine a particles motion
• Apply Work-Energy and Conservation of Energy principles
to determine a particles motion
• Apply Principle of Impulse and Momentum and Principle of
Conservation of Momentum to determine
a particles motion
• Apply Newtons Laws using force and acceleration to
determine a rigid bodys motion in a plane
• Apply Work-Energy and Conservation of Energy principles
to determine a rigid bodys motion in a plane
• Apply Principle of Impulse and Momentum and Principle of
Conservation of Momentum to determine
a rigid bodys motion in a plane
• Demonstrate understanding of kinematics and kinetics of
a rigid body moving in three dimensions
• Weekly homework
problem assignment will be made. These homework
assignments will be collected
at the start of the period on their due date. Late
assignments will be graded as follows:
– 50 % reduction in grade if received prior to the next
class (after due date).
– 100 % reduction in grade if received prior to the second
class (after due date).
• Credit is given for submission of completed homework
problems. Homework should show evidence of
work, homework problems with only an answer will not be
accepted. Computer generated exercises
may be assigned during the semester.
• All problems and
homework must be professionally presented, stapled and
fastened securely. Problems
should be worked on engineering paper using one side only
and using pencil. Figures must be
presented drawn with a straight edge. Calculations and
Figures will be labeled and/or captioned to
allow the reader to go through the calculations without
difficulty. Printing and computer generated
calculations must meet graphics standards.
Assessments
in
this class are designed so that you may demonstrate your
competence in the subject:
Unit tests cover the material discussed in the class notes
and will normally be completed during class
meeting hours on the dates scheduled. Makeup exams will
not be given for any reason. Student who miss
one of the scheduled exams should contact their instructor
as soon as possible. No reference materials will
be allowed during assessments.
A
final
exam will be given on the scheduled date of this course on
the scheduled date of this course. Student
who miss the final exam should contact their
instructor as soon as possible and no later than the
last day of finals week to schedule a final exam. final
exam will not be rescheduled, and a grade
of ”I” will not be given as a result of the missed
exam.
The grade you
receive will depend entirely on the quality of your own
work. You are not in competition with other
students:
how well you do is determined objectively rather than
comparatively. Grades are assigned based on the
competence you demonstrate during assessments
(exams), project, homework and quizzes.
Criteria:
Your final
course grade will be determined according to the following
schedule: Quizzes (10%), Project (10%),
Homework (10%), First exam (22%), Second exam (23%), Final
(25%)
A > 90 % >
B > 80 % > C > 70 % > D > 60 % > F
