A course for students advancing in Engineering programmes that requires in-depth analysis of components and structures, ENGR102 reinforces concepts of free-body diagrams and the mechanics of real life applications (both statics and dynamics).
The topics covered in this course are: Rigid body forces in 1 and 2D Equilibrium of a rigid body Distributed forces, centroids Analysis of trusses, frames 3D statics and vector operations simple kinematics of particles and of rigid bodies simple dynamics of a particle, of a system of particles, and rigid bodies mass moments of inertia of rigid bodies derivation of equations of motion via Newton’s 2nd Law principles of work, impact, kinetic and potential energies
Learning Objective:Understanding (in simple, basic terms) what it means to codify real-life observations (relating to statics and dynamics) with the help of mathematic-mechanical expressions.Students will:- calculate the resultant of force systems acting on rigid bodies.- draw the free body diagrams at a point, a rigid body or for a group of rigid bodies- calculate the moment of a force and couple vector in 3-D space using vector algebra.- develop and solve the equations of equilibrium in 3-dimensions at a point, on a rigid body or a group of rigid bodies- calculate the internal forces in engineering structures composed of simple trusses, frames, and machines.- have developed basic skills in kinematics, mass distribution of rigid bodies and dynamics, as well as have gained understanding of methods in classical mechanics- have developed and be able to demonstrate basic skills to derive and to analyse the equations of motion for simple structures

Reconsideration of GradesStudents should, in the first instance, speak to the course co-ordinator about their marks. If they cannot reach an agreeable solution, or have questions about their grade in a course, students should then speak to the Dean of Engineering, College of Engineering Office. Students can appeal any decision made on their final grade. You can apply at the Registry for reconsideration of the final grade within four weeks of the date of publication of final results. Be aware that there are time limits for each step of the appeals process.Aegrotat ApplicationsIf you feel that illness, injury, bereavement or other critical circumstances has prevented you from completing an item of assessment or affected your performance, you should complete an aegrotat application form, available from the Registry or the Student Health and Counselling Service. This should be within seven days of the due date for the required work or the date of the examination. In the case of illness or injury, medical consultation should normally have taken place shortly before or within 24 hours after the due date for the required work, or the date of the test or examination. Aegrotats are only permitted on major items (≥10%) of total assessment. Therefore, the only assessments in ENGR102 that are eligible for aegrotat consideration are the statics test and the dynamics exam. Aegrotat consideration can only be given for one of the two major assessments, that is, either the statics test or the dynamic exam are eligible for aegrotat consideration but not both assessments. For further details on aegrotat applications, please refer to the Enrolment Handbook. You have the right to appeal any decision made, including aegrotat decisions.Missing of TestsIn rare cases a student will not be able to sit a test. In such cases, the student should consult with the course co-ordinator to arrange alternative procedures. This must be done well in advance of the set date for the test
Policy on Dishonest PracticePlagiarism, collusion, copying and ghost writing are unacceptable and dishonest practices.• Plagiarism is the presentation of any material (text, data, figures or drawings, on any medium including computer files) from any other source without clear and adequate acknowledgement of the source.• Collusion is the presentation of work performed in conjunction with another person or persons, but submitted as if it has been completed only by the names author(s).• Copying is the use of material (in any medium, including computer files) produced by another person(s) with or without their knowledge and approval.• Ghost writing is the use of another person(s) (with or without payment) to prepare all or part of an item submitted for assessment.In cases where dishonest practice is involved in tests or other work submitted for credit, the student will be referred to the University Proctor. The instructor may choose to not mark the work.
