Course Description
This course focuses on analyze given mechanisms for position, velocity, acceleration
and static and dynamic forces. In addition, this course covers the failure analysis and
design of machine components and integrated systems, synthesize mechanisms for
specified performance.

Student Learning Objectives/Outcomes

1. Students will apply mathematical methods to analysis and synthesis of components
and their integration into complete mechanical systems.
2. Students will learn how to apply the fundamentals of engineering science to analyze
and design mechanical components to meet specifications.
3. Students will learn the variety of mechanical components
4. Students will learn how to identify and quantify the specifications and trade-offs for the
selection and application of components which are commonly used in the design of
complete mechanical systems.
5. Students will develop an ability to select, configure, and synthesize mechanical
components into complete systems.
