Engineering 16 (dynamics) is the second course in engineering and covers bodies in motion. The purpose of this course is to provide essential tools for the prediction of behavior and motion of engineering systems under the action of forces. Successful prediction of the behavior of a system requires a careful formulation of the problems through both physical and mathematical reasoning. The objective of this course is to aid the students in developing a dual thought process of both physical and mathematical understanding of problems involving motion of the bodies under influence of forces.
Student Learning Outcomes for Engineering 16:
- A student will be able to predict the behavior and motion of a system under the action of forces.
- A student will be able to describe the motion of bodies under the influence of forces both conceptually and mathematically.
