understand the basic principles of mechanics and to apply them to real-life problems or to new
situations.
draw free-body diagrams
formulate and use the equilibrium equations
identify the principles and equations that apply, and use them in solving static and dynamic
problems.
use the mathematical tools and the standard procedures as well as performing numerical
calculations.
analyze one, two and some three dimentional force systems and to determine the resultant of
force systems; including moments/couples, reactions, and internal loads.
develop equations of equilibrium and equations of motion, and solve these for forces and/or
different motion parameters, such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration of particles, rigid
bodies, and simple mechanical systems.

ATTENDANCE:
Attendance to lectures and tutorials are essential and expected. Attendance shall be taken. You must be there
to participate. If you miss more than one midterm/monthly exams and/or quizes or if your attendance record
is less than 75 %, your condition may be treated as Non-Gradable and shall receive an NG grade.
PLAGIARISM
This is intentionally failing to give credit to sources used in writing regardless of whether they are published
or unpublished. Plagiarism (which also includes any kind of cheating in exams) is a disciplinary offence and
will be dealt with accordingly.
