GET 207: Applied Mechanics
GET 207: Applied Mechanics
Master the non-negotiable principles of Engineering Mechanics. This track delivers a rigorous, complete programme in statics and dynamics, built to the NUC GET 207 core curriculum. It moves methodically from force systems and equilibrium to the kinematics of rigid bodies and the kinetics of particles. This is the foundation of all structural and mechanical analysis. This programme is for first and second-year undergraduate engineering students. It is an essential requirement for students in Mechanical, Civil, Structural, Aerospace, and Mechatronics engineering. A working knowledge of introductory physics and calculus is assumed. On completion, you will be able to analyse and solve complex problems in statics and particle dynamics. You will draw free-body diagrams, apply equilibrium equations, analyse trusses and frames, and solve motion problems using Newton's laws, work-energy, and momentum methods. This programme prepares you for advanced courses, particularly Mechanics of Materials, and future professional engineering practice.
