LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course, the
student will be able to: Describe mathematically the motion of a particle or
rigid body. Calculate the forces/moments causing the motion of a particle or
rigid body. Use the principles of mechanics to solve engineering problems involving
a particle or rigid body in motion.

Assessment Methods and Criteria
applies in this implementation
The course will be assessed based on assignments and exam.Assignments will be given each week. These are due the following week.Assignment 1 will be available 12:00 (noon) April 24 and due 12:00 (noon) May 2Assignment 2 will be available 12:00 (noon) May 2 and due 12:00 (noon) May 9
Assignment 3 will be available 12:00 (noon) May 9 and due 12:00 (noon) May 16
Assignment 4 will be available 12:00 (noon) May 16 and due 12:00 (noon) May 23
Assignment 5 will be available 12:00 (noon) May 23 and due 12:00 (noon) May 30
Assignment 6 will be available 12:00 (noon) May 30 and due 12:00 (noon) June 6
In order to qualify to take the exam, students must receive a minimum cumulative score of 60% on all the weekly assignments. Students who perform well on the weekly assignments will have extra points added to their score on the final exam. The final exaam will have a maximum of 100 points. Bonus points from the weekly assignments are as follows:
66 - 72% +1 bonus point
73 -79% +2 bonus point
80 - 86% +3 bonus point
87 - 93% +4 bonus point
over 94% +5 bonus point
Workload
applies in this implementation
The course will consist of:
16 hours (approximately) of lectures - all will be pre-recorded and available according the schedule best fitting the student
12 hours of exercise time in class - this will be a time to review questions arising from the pre-recorded lectures and reviewing the solutions from the previous week's assignment
90 hours of independent study
DETAILS
Study Material
valid for whole curriculum period:
The lecture notes, provided via Mycourses, should be sufficient to follow the course. For additional information consult the textbook Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics by Russell C. Hibbeler (any edition 10th thru 14th Edition) .
applies in this implementation
Lecture videos will be available each week covering all important topics of the course. These can be viewed via MyCourses.
Course content closely follows the material in the book "Engineering Mechanics Dynamics" by R. C. Hibbeler, Pearson Education Ltd., any edition of the book from 10 to 14 are acceptable.
