EGR 225 Engineering Dynamics

Lecture: 3 Lab: 0 Clinic: 0 Credits: 3

This course introduces the concepts of engineering based on the analysis of motion in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. Topics include the two and three dimensional motion of particles and rigid bodies, the forces associated with that motion, and relative motion between two coordinate systems. Upon completion, students should be able to solve problems which require the ability to analyze the motion and forces involved in a dynamic system.

This course has been approved for transfer under the CAA as a premajor and/or elective course requirement.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At the completion of the course, the students should be able to do the following:

Analyze a body under curvilinear motion using Cartesian, tangential, and cylindrical components.
Evaluate the system of kinetics for a body in rectangular, tangential, and cylindrical coordinates.
Calculate the work, energy, and efficiency of a system.
Calculate impulse and momentum in both linear and angular systems.
Analyze relative and absolute motion with velocity and acceleration.
