Course
Description
The course will cover the fundamental concept of Mechanics of Machines as
designed that will give students a necessary foundation for a comprehensive
understanding of Mechanisms and Links Theories and procedures.
Learning
outcomes
Upon completion of the course, Students should be able to:
·
To
provides the fundamentals for the kinematic, static, and dynamic analysis of
mechanical systems of the type commonly found in machinery.
·
To provide the student with a broad knowledge of
the external effects of forces applied to particles, as evidenced by the change
of motion produced.
·
To provide the student with a broad knowledge of
the internal effects of forces applied to members in structures and mechanisms,
as evidenced by the stresses and deformations produced.
·
To provide the student with a
foundation for subsequent modules in Mechanics of Machines and other related
modules.
Prerequisites: Basics
Format
To
achieve the objectives, a variety of teaching methods will be employed
including contents presentation, individual and group exercise and methods
practices sessions. This is a three credit-hour
course.
Homework
assignments
Homework
assignments are designed to help you learn the mechanics of the methods
discussed in class and to give you an opportunity to apply these concepts in a
straightforward manner. In addition to their value as learning exercises, doing
a careful and thorough job on the homework assignments is the best preparation
for the exams.

Attendance
Students
are expected to attend all classes. Your learning and your grade depend upon
your regular attendance. Students are expected to attend the section, for which
they are enrolled, except on an occasional basis as approved in advance by the
Teacher. The Institute officially excused absences will be honored, of course,
but if you know in advance about a valid reason for missing class, the teacher
should be notified. Please note the official policy of the Institute regarding
attendance. Students should make every effort to be in class on time. There may
be cases when a student comes to class late, but such circumstances should not
be chronic, and should be discussed with the teacher. If it is necessary to be
late, the student should use common courtesy and quietly take a seat as close
to the door as possible.
Lectures
Consistent
with the course objectives, lectures will address learning objectives
associated with weekly topics (as outlined in the schedule below), including
basic principles and working examples.
While lectures will closely parallel material contained in assigned
readings, they are not substitutes. In
particular, lectures will clarify, expand and where necessary, update material
contained in assigned readings.
