Code KMEE1168

Title Engineering Mechanics

Pre-requisite None

Student Learning Time (SLT) 120 hours

Credit 3

Learning Outcomes 1. Describe the fundamental concepts and principles of parallelo-
gram law, transmissibility, Newton’s law and able apply vector
mechanics in forces such as: forces in plane, forces in space
and rigid bodies
2. Estimate forces in rigid bodies and equilibrium of rigid bodies in
two and three dimensions where distributed forces for centroids

and centers of gravity are determined.
3. Analyze structures, forces in beam and cables, friction and dis-
tributed forces: moment of inertia, kinematics of particles and
systems of particles
4. Apply Kinetics of Particles: Newton's Second Law, Energy and
Momentum and Rigid bodies.
Synopsis This course exposes to the students the problems of Applied Me-
chanics by using vector analysis approach which is introduced early

in the lecture and is used throughout the course. The approach
leads to a more concise derivation of the fundamental principle.
Assessment 40 % Continuous Assessments
60 % Final Examination
