Curricular information is subject to change
On successful completion of this subject the student will be able to:
1. Demonstrate a familiarity with the fundamental principles of mechanics.
2. Apply the principles of mechanics to solve engineering problems.
3 Analyse a mechanics question to determine the relevant information required to solve it.
4. Sketch the system / draw a free body diagram.
5. Make appropriate assumptions to allow solution.
6. Choose an appropriate solution strategy: force-acceleration, work-energy, or impulse momentum.
7. Interpret results obtained.

Group Project: This group project will assess the creativity of the students working in a group and demonstrate how the learning of Applied Dynamics can be evolved by students through open ended creative projects. | Varies over the Trimester | n/a | Alternative linear conversion grade scale 40% | No | 15 |
Examination: Class Tests | Throughout the Trimester | Yes | Alternative linear conversion grade scale 40% | Yes | 60 |
Assignment: This assessment will allow the students to work in a group an implement some of the ideas learnt in Applied Dynamics I to simulate a certain problem numerically/analytically and comment on it. | Throughout the Trimester | n/a | Alternative linear conversion grade scale 40% | No | 15 |
Presentation: Short Presentations on a contemporary topic in Applied Dynamics. This will be an introduction to open ended questions for the student and also allow an ability to work in groups. | Varies over the Trimester | n/a | Alternative linear conversion grade scale 40% | No | 10 |
