Course Objectives: (numbers in brackets indicate the relationship to engineering program outcomes)

Student completing ENGR 248 will:

Know how to describe particle and general planar rigid body motion and how to apply kinematical equations motion using rectangular, cylindrical and normal/tangential components. (1, 2).

Know how to describe accelerated particle motion and general planar rigid body motion with the kinetic equations of motion using rectangular, cylindrical and normal/tangential components. (1, 2).

Know how to list ALL known and unknown kinematic and kinetic variables and to derive all governing kinematic and kinetic equations in a kinetics problem then solve the system of equations. (1, 2).

Know how to apply the principles of work and energy, linear impulse and angular momentum to develop the governing kinetic relationships for a system of particles and for a rigid body. (1, 2).

Be able to work effectively on a team in a project and utilize modern computer based tools including Maple, Excel and VBA to solve, analyze, describe, design and report various dynamics problems. (1, 2, 4, 5).
