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.
