Course outline Engineering Mechanics is a physical science that mainly works to define the bodies
force effects. It plays an important role in engineering analysis and also in industry.
Engineering requires a comprehensive application of the principles of mechanics in
subject to verify the effect of forces or other factors. Improvement of several fields is
necessarily dependent on the principles of mechanics applications which are central to
run the research and provide a further overview in development of the subjects such
as vibrations, fluid, flow, engine performance and etc.
It is paramount to well understand the subject which is mainly be required in future
tasks as well as in several engineering fields.

Course objectives Engineering mechanics is considered as a basic for many other fields which are being
improved day by day. The topics being delivered during the subject will be fruitful at
the civil engineering, mechanical and architectural engineering. Engineering
mechanics are relied about statics and dynamics. Almost all the subjects being
delivered via the current subject, these all are used in industry at the several version of
engineering mechanics despite they are not completely related to the mechanical
topics such as electrical components of a robotic equipment or manufacturing process
of some items/ units. Hence, the engineering mechanics is very important to the
engineering curriculum. This leads to provide a quite comprehensive guideline for
solution of the problems in future important subjects including applied mathematics,
physics, and material sciences etc. Moreover, student's understanding is being
expanded for problem solving in current subject and ability of solution-oriented
thinking is being developed.

Learning outcomes On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Newton's laws of motion application to the real-life problems
2. Vectors and their applications in 2D, 3D coordinate systems
3. Identify the moment of a force and calculate its value about a specified axis.
Define the moment of a couple.
4. Find out the force applications in different points
5. Construct "Free Body Diagrams" of real-world problems and apply Newton's
Laws of motion and vector operations to evaluate equilibrium of particles and
bodies.
6. Apply the principles of equilibrium of particles and bodies to analyze the
 forces in planar truss members.
7. Describe the overview of friction forces and analyze the equilibrium of rigid
bodies work under those forces.
8. Find out the resultants of a general distributed load in a beam or other kind of
structures and find out the shear force as well as bending moment in the
structures.

Policy
 Ethics
Copy of other students’ work is highly discouraged. All assignments must be
handled by the student himself. This is a university policy and violators will be
reprimanded accordingly.

 Preparation for class

The structure of this course demands your individual effort outside the classroom
for extra practice of many problems within the textbook. After each session, every
student needs to put sufficient time to practice and finish the assignments by the
predetermined date.

 Withdrawal (pass/fail)
This course strictly follows grading policy of the School of Engineering. Thus, a
student is normally expected to achieve a mark of at least 60% to pass. In case of
failure, he/she will be required to repeat the course the following term or year.

 Cheating/plagiarism
Cheating or other plagiarism in handling the assignments, Mid-term and Final
Examinations will lead to course failure. In this case, the student will
automatically get zero (0), without any considerations.

 Professional behavior guidelines

The students shall behave in the way to create favorable academic and
professional environment during the class hours. Unauthorized discussions and
unethical behavior are strictly discouraged.
