How to Succeed
Accept that it is your responsibility to learn the material (in spite of the book or teacher)
Show up and become engaged with the topics
Your main homework assignment is to watch the video to understand the topic in advance so that you can collaborate in the class activities
Use you resources for help (internet, classmates, upperclassmen, faculty, the library)
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
By the end of the semester the student will be:
- understand the basic terms for the description of the motion of particles and rigid bodies using the laws of Newtonian mechanics.
- Solve dynamics of Multi Degree of Freedom (MDOF) System.
- Understand the concept of analytical dynamics to use it in solving mechanics problems.
- Apply the concepts of energy methods to model and simulate the dynamical systems.
