Course Learning Outcomes

• Analyze Kinematics of Particles and Rigid Bodies -
  Students will be able to analyze the kinematic motion of particles and rigid bodies, including rectilinear, curvilinear, and space motion, and apply these concepts to engineering dynamics problems.

• Apply Newton’s Laws and Dynamics Principles -
  Students will demonstrate the ability to apply Newton’s laws of motion, along with work-energy and impulse-momentum methods, to solve problems involving force, acceleration, energy, and momentum in particles and rigid bodies.

• Evaluate Dynamics in Translating and Rotating Frames of Reference -
  Students will proficiently evaluate relative motion in translating and rotating frames, including the effects of gyroscopic forces and plane motion of rigid bodies.
