Description

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).

ENGR102-24SU2 is an on-campus course. This course cannot be taken by distance.

Learning Outcomes

  • Calculate the resultant of force systems acting on rigid bodies
  • Draw the free body diagrams for loading at a point, on a rigid body, or for a group of rigid bodies
  • Calculate the moment of a force and couple vector in 3D using vector algebra
  • Develop and solve equations of equilibrium in 2D and 3D for a point, a rigid body, and a group of rigid bodies
  • Calculate the internal forces in simple engineering structures such as trusses, frames, and machines
  • Develop skills in kinematics, mass distribution of rigid bodies, and dynamics, and explain the use of methods in classical mechanics for engineering problems
  • Develop, derive, and analyze the equations of motion of simple rigid body structures

Timetable Note

This course requires a time commitment of around 20 hours per week (more if you need to spend time to consolidate your learning from prerequisite courses in addition to mastering the new material). In the Nov-Dec term of the course, there will be four 2-hour lectures and four 1-hour tutorials each week. In the January term, there will be three 2-hour lectures and three 1-hour tutorials each week. In both terms the tutorials are scheduled immediately following the lectures. You are expected to attend all of these activities in person.
