<p>Within all engineering disciplines there are some core concepts that underpin our knowledge as practising engineers. This course introduces students to the principles engineers use to analyse stationary and moving systems. In order to achieve this the course will introduce students to the fundamental modelling techniques used by engineers to assess the core static and dynamic engineering systems. By the end of the course students will be able to design simple, safe systems.</p>

<p>This may include:<br>
•Constant acceleration motion and Newton`s laws<br>
•Simple harmonic motion<br>
•Momentum, inertia and friction<br>
•Equilibrium of rigid bodies<br>
•Centre of gravity, centroid, moments of inertia and area<br>
•Internal forces of structural members and trusses<br>
•Shear force and bending moment diagrams</p>
