STATICS & DYNAMICS, by R. C. Hibbeler, 10th Edition; 2004

Student Audience: Students who take this course are majoring in any discipline in engineering. Prerequisites: The prerequisite for Engr 212 is Engr 211. (Note: The letter grade for the prerequisite course must be at least a C.) Course Description: Dynamics starts with kinematics of a particle, kinetics of a particle (force& acceleration, work & energy, impulse & momentum), planar kinematics of rigid body, planar kinetics of rigid body (force and acceleration, work & energy, impulse & momentum); at the end students learn about 3-dimensional kinematics and kinetics of rigid body. Applicable toward graduation where program structure permits: Certificate or Degree - All Certificates and All Degrees Group Requirement - Not Applicable Area of Concentration - General Science, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering

Course Outcomes: Method of Evaluation: There will be 4 one-hour exams each 15%, homework assignments 20%, and a comprehensive final exam 20%.

Engr 212 Course syllabus

How to study dynamics: - The most effective way of learning the principals of dynamics is to solve problems. - After the method of the section is applied to solve a problem you must review the solution. Then, think about any different methodologies and concepts you may have learned before to solve the same type of problem. This will help you remember the old concepts and it will enhance your problem-solving ability. - All your work should be done neatly. Being neat generally stimulates clear and orderly thinking, and vice versa. - It helps to study or do homework assignments with a partner. Remember that teaching others is an excellent way to learn a subject matter. - It is not wise to spend a lot of time on one question. When you get stuck on a problem or a concept don't be frustrated; email me (amoshgi@richland.edu). - If you solve a problem incorrectly do not erase it; instead, explain where you were wrong and have the correct solution next to the wrong one. - The most effective way to fail Dynamics is to fall behind; please don't do that. Instructor's Notes: - There is no need for a particular type of a calculator. - The successful completion of the course requires doing at least the exercises that are assigned at the end of each section. - Students with an average of more than 95% at the end of the semester will not have to take the final exam. - Attendance will be checked. - Students with a grade of F on the first exam should make an appointment with me. - Students with a grade of F at the mid-term exam with irregular attendance will be dropped administratively. - If a student does not take a test on the scheduled date, I will replace the missing test with half of the score on the final exam at most once. - None of the exams will be dropped. - The course grade will be based only on one-hour exams, collected homework assignments, the final exam, and the extra credit problems (ECPs are challenging questions beyond the scope of the text). - Students are responsible for knowledge of and compliance with all announcements made in class, whether present or not. - Attendance is very important. For every four hours of class missed the grade will be lowered one letter grade. - Punctuality is very important. Being late twice is equivalent to being absent one hour. - I appreciate any comments or reasonable suggestions throughout the semester.
