e. 0ne cieuit is uefineu as one lectuie loau pei week anu two houis of self-stuuy
to be connecteu with tutoiial, piactical woik book anu assignments.
S. Prerequisites of the course if any:
The subject iequiies basic knowleuge of mathematics anu elementaiy concept of vectoi
Calculus. Piioi knowleuge of Physics is useful but not inuispensable

4. Prerequisite for which next course:
Engineeiing Nechanics is the funuamental subject foi many engineeiing uisciplines like
Nechanical, Civil, Electiical, Chemical, Aeionautical anu Naval Engineeiing etc. A thoiough
knowleuge of this subject is a pieiequisite foi puisuing these uisciplines as well as foi othei
uisciplines in theii 1
st
yeai couise as followeu by most of the Inuian univeisities. It lays the
founuation foi the subjects like Stiength of Nateiials, Nachine Besign, Theoiy of Nachine,
Bynamics of Nachines, Stiuctuie Nechanics etc.

S. Why you need to study this course.
Engineeiing Nechanics is both a founuation anu pioviues a fiamewoik foi most of the bianches
of engineeiing. Nost of the subjects in aieas such as Nechanical, Civil anu Aeiospace aie baseu
upon the subjects of Statics anu Bynamics. Even in uisciplines such as Electiical Engineeiing anu
Nechationics the couise is useful in unueistanuing the woiking of Electiical Robotics uevices.
An auueu benefit of stuuying Engineeiing Nechanics is that it stiengthens pioblem solving
abilities of stuuents.

6. Learning outcomes expected fromthe course:
1. The ability to unueistanu basic concepts of foice systems, motion, woik anu eneigy.
2. The ability to visualize, foimulates, analyze anu solve engineeiing pioblems.
S. The ability to unueistanu scientific piinciples anu apply them to the piactice of
engineeiing pioblems
4. The ability to pieuict the applications of foice anu motion while caiiying out the uesign
of engineeiing membeis.
S. The ability to uesign anu conuuct expeiiments, as well as to analyze anu inteipiet uata
