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

ENGR102-25SU2 starts from Monday 24 November and classes/tutorials/assessments may run up to and including Friday 19 December. This is followed by a Christmas break from 20 December to 4 January. Classes resume on Monday 5 January. The official course finish date is Sunday 8 February and classes/tutorials/assessments may run from 5 January to 7 February inclusive.

This is an on-campus course and there are 12 hours per week of scheduled activities (8 hours of lecture and 4 hours of tutorials). This course cannot be taken by distance, students are expected to be available for class activities. Students should expect to spend about 20 hours per week on the course such that taking two summer courses is equivalent to a full-time workload. Students enrolling in the course should arrange to be in Christchurch for classes and assessments during the entirety of the periods given above.
