Mechanical principles have been crucial for engineers to convert the energy produced by burning oil and gas into systems to propel, steer and stop our automobiles, aircraft and ships, amongst thousands of other applications. The
knowledge and application of these mechanical principles is still the essential underpinning science of all machines in use today or being developed into the latest technology . The aim of this Course is to introduce students to the essential mechanical principles associated with engineering applications .
This Course including behavioural characteristics of static, shear forces, bending dynamic and oscillating engineering systems including moments, torsion, linear and angular acceleration, conservation of energy and vibrating systems; and the movement and transfer of energy by considering parameters of mechanical power transmission systems.
On successful completion of this Course students will be able to explain the underlying principles, requirements and limitations of mechanical systems.
