Currently Teaching

MECE-205
3 Credits
A basic course in the kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Newton's Laws and the theorems of work-energy and impulse momentum are applied to a variety of particle problems. Systems of particles are employed to transition to the analysis of rigid body problems. Absolute and relative motion are used to investigate the kinematics and kinetics of systems of rigid bodies. Newton's Laws are applied to a variety of two-dimensional rigid body problems.
MECE-389
1 - 3 Credits
In response to student and/or faculty interest, special courses that are of current interest and/or logical continuation of regular courses will be presented. (Pre-requisites may apply depending on the topic, therefore department permission is required for enrollment) See instructor for more details.
