COURSE DESCRIPTION

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.

 

 PREREQUISITES

Completion of ENGR 2033 and MATH 2343 or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2343.

 

TEXTBOOK

Engineering Mechanics Dynamics 8e by J. L Meriam & L. G Kraige (Wiley) "REQUIRED"

textbook   

COURSE OBJECTIVES

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

 HOMEWORK

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.

 

EXAMS

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.

 

FINAL EXAM

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.

 

GRADING

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
