Through Engineers' Eyes - Introducing the Vision: Engineering Mechanics by Experiment, Analysis and Design (FutureLearn)
Learn the basic techniques of engineering mechanics and use them to interpret experiments and make designs that will work. When you design anything, how do you know that the design will work? Engineering mechanics is the science-based analysis that engineers use to predict how their designs will perform. It is vital to ensure engineers can meet their responsibilities for performance and safety.

In this course and its companion course Through Engineers’ Eyes: Expanding the Vision, you will learn analytical skills, use them to understand experiments and apply them in design. Through experiments, analysis videos, paper and pencil tutorials and adaptive tutorials, you will experience living in the engineer’s world.


What topics will you cover?

- Effects of loads on springs

- Forces that meet in a point

- Understanding and analysing twist

- Forces in rigid bodies (two dimensions)

- Engineering mechanics and design


What will you achieve?

By the end of the course, you'll be able to...

- Describe how to manipulate forces as vectors

- Apply techniques and skills in using free-body diagrams and equilibrium to analyse and predict forces;

- Explore how engineering mechanics is used in design

- Describe and calculate the twisting effect of a force
