LEARNING OUTCOMES
This course reviews and reinforces the student’s understanding of Kinematics and the Dynamics of Machines. Solving more difficult problems and using graphical methods of solution provides a visual level of perception of the subjects not available in earlier courses. All aspects of multi-body dynamics are covered. This course contributes primarily to the students’ knowledge of engineering topics, and does provide design experience. The following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.
