S. Isaacson, Associate Professor, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Prerequisites by Topic:
1.
Statics of particles and rigid bodies.
2. Kinematics and kinetics of particles.
3. Kinetics of particles: Energy and momentum methods.
Goals:
This
course is designed to introduce juniors in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
to the theory and application of engineering mechanics; it is aimed at helping
engineering students develop an ability to apply well-established physical
principles to analyze and solve problems in a logical and effective manner.
Course Learning Outcomes:
As an outcome of completing this course, students will:
i.
Become proficient in the modeling and analysis of simple dynamic systems-
both systems of simple particles and also rigid bodies in two and three
dimensions - including the choice and use of appropriate analysis methods
(kinematics, kinetics, energy and momentum methods, impact, and single degree
of freedom vibrations). (A, E, L)
ii. Gain experience and confidence in the use of computers to solve dynamic
problems through the development and use of a MATLAB program in the
term project. (E, K, L)
iii. Gain an appreciation of and a facility for producing well-organized
and clearly written work to facilitate communications with others and
review by supervisors. (G)
