Course general description:

The Course focuses on the following fundamental concepts: Kinematics of particles, Kinetics of particles using the principle of Newton’s law of motion and the principle of work end energy to describe the equation of motion, planer kinematics of rigid body, Planer kinetics of rigid body using Newton’s law and Energy method and finally an introduction to vibrations.

Course objectives: .This course is designed to provide the students with a working knowledge of particle & rigid-body mechanics and to train them in developing mathematical models (Free Body Diagrams) and in solving basic mechanics problems in scientific and logical manners.

Course materials:

Text book: Title: Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics Author: R. C. Hibbeler Publisher: Prentice HallEdition : 12th edition, 2009

Support material (s): Lecture notes (soft copy). Selected solved problems Homework.

Lectures schedule:

3 hours a week of including a tutorial session of one hour.

Learning outcomes:

1. Provide the best learning environment and concepts and technical education needed to achieve the above indicated student objectives and for a career in Engineering Technology.

2. Demonstrate the knowledge and dexterity to perform effectively in the workplace with the communication skills needed to deal with fellow workers, clients and public.

3. Emphasize the understanding of societal implications of engineering decisions and design in both a local and global context and the ethical training to evaluate those implications.

4. Encourage class participation, questions and class related discussions.5. Incite critical analysis in the solution of problem and application of

innovation in technology.6. Stimulate team work inside and outside the classroom.

Final Examination

Expected workload:

On average students need to spend 2 hours of study and preparation for each one hour lecture/tutorial.

Attendance policy:

Absence from lectures and/or tutorials shall not exceed 15%. Students who exceed the 15% limit without a medical or emergency excuse acceptable to and approved by the Dean of the relevant college/faculty shall not be allowed to take the final examination and shall receive a mark of zero for the course. If the excuse is approved by the Dean, the student shall be considered to have withdrawn from the course.
