GE 2006 - Engineering Dynamics

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This subject deals with the motions of particles and rigid bodies and the forces causing them. Topics include rectilinear and curvilinear motion, rotation and plane motion. Principles include Newton’s Laws, work and energy, conservation of energy, and impulse and momentum. (prereq: ME 255 , MA 225 )
