MECHANISMS AND MACHINES

Catalog description

This course covers the kinematics and dynamics of machinery. While the course is on the topics of analysis of mechanisms and machines, it emphasizes also the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis. Positional, velocity, acceleration, and force are considered in the traditional analysis of mechanisms and machines. The course is an ideal vehicle for introducing the mechanical engineering student to the process of design, since mechanisms tend to be intuitive for the typical mechanical engineering student to visualize and create. Prerequisite: MECH3850 (4 credits)
