Recommended Background:
To be successful in the course you will need to have mastered basic engineering mechanics concepts and to have successfully completed my courses en titled an "Introduction to Engineering Mechanics" and "Applications in Engineering Mechanics." We will apply many of the engineering fundamentals learned in those classes and you will need those skills before attempting this course.
Syllabus
WEEK 1
Course Introduction; Particle Kinematics; Particle Kinetics – Newton’s Laws and Euler’s Laws; Motion of Particles and Mass Centers of Bodies
