Student Learning Outcome

Course Objective 1

1.

Students will demonstrate a basic understanding of the theory of motion. They will, thus, demonstrate a comprehensive grasp of kinematics for a particle, a system of particles, and a rigid body [1, 2, 3].

2.

Students will demonstrate the ability of choosing the proper coordinate system, such as rectangular, normal and tangential, cylindrical [1, 2, 3].

Course Objective 2

1.

Students will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of kinetics for a particle, a system of particles, and a rigid body [1, 2, 3].

2.

Students will demonstrate the ability of choosing the proper method or convenient combination of methods, e.g., force-acceleration, work-energy, and impulse-momentum, for solving problems in dynamics [1, 2, 3].
