Course objectives:
The Student is to develop the capacity to predict the effects of force
and motion while carrying out the creative design functions of
engineering.
To help the student develop this ability to visualize, which is so vital to
problem formulation.
Maximum progress is when the principles and heir limitations are learned
together within the context of engineering applications.

COURSE OUTCOMES:
This capacity requires more than a mere knowledge of the
physical and mathematical principles of mechanics
Ability to visualize physical configurations in terms of real materials, actual
constraints ,and the practical limitations which govern the behavior of
machines and structures
Indeed, the construction of a meaningful mathematical model is
often a more important experience than its solution
