Requirements

Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Description

This course covers the material typically included in a first university course in Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics. The focus of the course is on the fundamentals - you will learn the theory and also be guided by examples - in order for you to improve your university grades. This course is therefore the ideal supplement to your first university course in Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, but can also be taken as a stand-alone course by anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of engineering dynamics.

Who this course is for:

Students of Mechanical Engineering looking to improve their grades.

Professional engineers looking to brush up on their dynamics.
