^ = May be enrolled concurrently

1 ENGR1732 - Mechanical and Electrical Fundamentals
2 PHYS1332 - Engineering Physics 1
3 1 of PHYS1101, PHYS1601
4 1 of PHYS1102, PHYS1602
Must Satisfy: ((1) or (2) or (3 and 4))

Particle: dynamics: Curvilinear motion, Force and acceleration, Work and Energy, Impulse and Momentum
Rigid body dynamics: Planar Kinematics, Force, Torque and Acceleration, Work and Energy, Linear and Angular Impulse and Momentum
Vibrations
Mechanical engineering design practice based around the Warman competition

This topic aims to ensure that the students understand Kinematics and Kinetics as applied to particles and rigid bodies. Vibration. In additon, this topic allows students to develop and apply their skills in engineering design in the context of an engineering project.

At the completion of the topic, students are expected to be able to:

Understand the dynamic properties of particles and rigid bodies
Write the relevant equations of motions associated with Force, Torque and Acceleration, Work and Energy, Impulse and Momentum
Understand the creation and effects of vibration
Be able to undertake practical mechanical engineering design problems
