Course Description:

This is a 3 credit intermediate level course in dynamics that employs various problem solving methods and the laws of mechanics to analyze and obtain solutions to fundamental problems in engineering and physics. A course in kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies with applications of Newton's second law and the principles of work-energy and impulse momentum. Course Objectives:

* Learn the fundamental concepts of engineering Dynamics. * Learn a sound methodology to solve engineering problems that is applicable to all future courses and work. * Develop in the engineering student the ability to analyze any problem in a simple and logical manner. * Analyze the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies with applications * Appreciate that the governing equations in Dynamics are differential equations.

Course Outcomes:

* Establish coordinates, sign conventions, variables, and parameters that quantify physical conditions or states. * Draw clear and rigorous Free Body Diagrams that accurately describe physical systems, maintaining consistency with assumptions and quantifiers. * Write equations (in vector form) that govern the behavior physical systems, and check that the equations are well-posed. * Determine the solutions using mathematical techniques that are appropriate to their level. * Determine the solutions using software’s that are appropriate to their level. * Check solutions for dimensional consistency and appropriate order of magnitude. * Distinguish kinematics principles from kinetics principles. * Distinguish forces from accelerations. * Distinguish particles from rigid bodies, and translation from rotation. * Use balance laws of linear momentum, angular momentum, and energy. * Determine when certain quantities are or are not conserved.

General Policies and Hint’s :

* Students who cheat on any assignment or during any examination will be assigned a failing grade for the course. * In order to enhance and maintain a productive atmosphere for education, personal communication devices, such as cellular phones and laptops, are to be disabled in class sessions. * You will benefit much more from lecture if you read the text material before coming to class. Attend class and take notes. Don’t try to copy everything said, written on the board, showed in slides or videos. * Presented materials in class in the same order as the text. This makes it easier for you to augment your notes. * The most important things you can do are read the book, attend class and be attentive, and do the homework. * Be considerate toward your classmates and instructor and arrive to class on time. * Do not leave class early and do not create distractions in preparation to leave before class is dismissed. * While in class your readings should be confined to the course text and notes. * If you are late to class or must leave early, please inform your instructor in advance and enter or leave quietly. * Confiscation may result for non-compliance or you may be asked to leave the class and be counted absent. * Be kind and respectful to your fellow students and your teachers.
