Engineering Dynamics XPD145
Introduction
In this unit you will develop knowledge and skills for solving problems in engineering dynamics based on fundamental theory developed using Newtonian Mechanics with an introductory focus on particle kinematics and kinetics. This is undertaken by applying theory to solve dynamics problems based on Newton Mechanics as well as practical implementation based on undertaking laboratory experiments. The unit prepares you for all specialisations of the degree by providing a broader overview of dynamics relevant to all disciplines in particular the field of mechanical engineering.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (refer to How do I withdraw from a unit? for more information).
Unit census dates currently displaying for 2024 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2024 will be available from the 1st October 2023. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Solve common engineering dynamics problems using fundamentals theory based on Newtonian Mechanics
- Apply practical techniques for the measurement and/or analysis of dynamics based problems
- Collect and analyse experimental or theoretical data as an individual or within a team context
- Communicate a set of conclusions utilising data collected in a laboratory experiment
