ENGR 2302

 Dynamics.  Credit 3.  Kinematics of rigid bodies, kinetics of rigid bodies, work and energy, impulse and momentum. Prerequisite:  CVEN 2301 or equivalent, MATH 2415 or concurrent.

Textbook:              "Engineering Mechanics, Statics and Dynamics," R. C. Hibbeler, Macmillan, 10th Edition.

Reference:              P. Beer and E. R. Johnson, Jr., "Mechanics for Engineers," Macmillan, 4th Edition.

Coordinator:            Dr.Fred M. Young, Professor of Mechanical Engineering.

Goals:                   The primary objective of this course is to provide the student a stepping stone from physics to applications of mechanics to design problems that will be encountered in advanced courses.  The broad aspects of motion, forces, work, energy, impulse and momentum are applied to practical problems.
