Kinetics of Particles by Newton's Second Law - Engineering Mechanics (Undergraduate Advanced)
74
65 hrs
[University] Engineering Mechanics - DynamicsMaster the principles governing the motion of engineering systems. This learning track provides a complete education in dynamics, systematically building from the kinematics of particles to the kinetics of rigid bodies and culminating in an introduction to dynamic systems and vibration. You will learn to analyse and predict how mechanical systems behave under the influence of forces.
This programme is for undergraduate students in mechanical, aerospace, civil, or related engineering disciplines. It is also essential for practising engineers and applied scientists who require a rigorous, first-principles command of dynamic analysis for their professional work. A prerequisite knowledge of statics, calculus, and vector algebra is assumed.
Upon completion, you will possess the analytical tools to solve complex dynamics problems for particles and rigid bodies using force, energy, and momentum methods. This provides the essential foundation for advanced study in mechanical design, control systems, and structural analysis, and prepares you for demanding technical roles in the engineering sector.
