Course Outcomes and Linkage to Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Construct free body diagrams.
2. Calculate reaction forces and moments for practical structures in static equilibrium such as
trusses, frames, and simple machines.
3. Construct and solve equations relating the applied forces to the resulting motion of a body
modeled as a particle, including projectiles, vehicles, pulley elements, and vibrations of a
mass-spring-damper system, etc.
4. Solve practical dynamics problems using impulse-momentum and work-energy concepts
including collisions, vehicle motion, and spring-mass systems.
