**Subject & Number:** MEC E 250

**Title:** Engineering Mechanics II

**Course Career:** Undergraduate

**Units:** 3.5

**Approved Hours:** 3-1s-0

**Fee index:** 6

**Faculty:** Engineering

**Department:**

**Typically Offered:** either term or Spring/Summer

### Calendar Description

Moments of inertia. Kinematics and kinetics of rigid body motion, energy
and momentum methods, impact, mechanical vibrations. Prerequisites: ENGG
130, EN PH 131 and MATH 101. There is a consolidated exam.

### **Learning Outcomes**

1.  Convert simple practical mechanical systems into physical and
    mathematical models involving rigid bodies.

2.  Describe the kinematics of planar motion of rigid bodies in terms of
    a variety of coordinate systems. (3D?)

3.  Be proficient in drawing Free Body Diagrams, Kinetic Diagrams and
    Impulse-Momentum Diagrams and applying these to appropriate problems
    involving planar motion of rigid bodies. (3D?)

4.  Apply Newton\'s Laws and the principles of Work and Energy and
    Impulse and Momentum to problems involving planar motion of rigid
    bodies.

5.  Apply the principles of Newton\'s Law and Work and Energy to solve
    simple problems involving undamped vibration of single degree of
    freedom mechanical systems.

### **Learning Objectives of the Seminars**

· The seminars are designed to reinforce lecture materials, to discuss
worked examples similar to those asked in assignments, quizzes and
examinations and to provide opportunities for **practice** in solving
problems.

· To develop independent learning and study skills as well as to
emphasize the importance of taking responsibility for your own learning:
attendance will not be taken BUT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to achieve the
stated learning objectives.

· To learn how to present clear, logical, coherent written solutions.
This will help you with one of the main learning objectives of Mec E 250
concerning communication of your results in written format.
