Course Objectives/Student LearningOutcomes:

To develop problem solving skills in engineering mechanics through the application ofconcepts in statics and dynamics to complex problems.

Course Objectives:

1. To develop an understanding of the fundamentals and principles of engineeringmechanics: statics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies in two and three dimensionsincluding: kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies in 2D and 3D motion,rotations, translations, oscillations.

2. Learn to solve equilibrium of rigid bodies including the calculations of moment offorce, inertia moments of solid bodies, and basic structural analysis, and be able todetermine the requirement for the equilibrium of particles and solid bodies.

3. To develop the ability to apply Newtonian mechanics to model and predict theresponses of simple dynamical system (particle and rigid body) subjected to appliedforces.

Prerequisites by Topic: Introductory Physics (PHYS 8 or PHYS 18 or equivalent)Calculus (MATH 21 or equivalent)

Course Policies: 1. NO CELL PHONES are allowed during lecture. 2. Be on time to class. Tardy isdiscouraged. 3. No late assignments will be accepted. Medical or family emergency willbe considered on case-by-case basis. 4. No make-up exams/quizzes. If you miss theexam, a zero score will be assigned to the missed exam/quiz. No electronic devices otherthan a calculator will be allowed. 5. If you miss a class due to personal emergency ormedical reasons, please be sure to inform the instructor by e-mail. 6. Homeworkassignments are to be submitted by the due date. You should keep a record of yourhomework in HW notebooks or HW binder and be ready to present it upon request. You

may discuss homework problems with your classmates, but you are responsible for yourown works. 7. You are encouraged to read the sections in the textbooks related to thecovered topics prior to the lecture as well as after. 8. Each student should use only his/herown clicker for quizzes. 9. After an assignment grade has been posted online, studentsmust see the instructor within one week if they wish to discuss the assignment and theirwork. 10. University's rules on academic honesty concerning exams and individualassignments will be strictly enforced. See UC Conduct Standards:http://studentlife.ucmerced.edu/what-we-do/student-judicial-affairs/uc-conduct-standards

Academic DishonestyStatement:

a. Each student in this course is expected to abide by the University of California,Merced's Academic Honesty Policy. Any work submitted by a student in this course foracademic credit will be the student's own work.b. You are encouraged to study together and to discuss information and concepts coveredin lecture and the sections with other students. You can give "consulting" help to orreceive "consulting" help from such students. However, this permissible cooperationshould never involve one student having possession of a copy of all or part of work doneby someone else, in the form of an e mail, an e mail attachment file, a diskette, or a hardcopy. Should copying occur, both the student who copied work from another student andthe student who gave material to be copied will both automatically receive a zero for theassignment. Penalty for violation of this Policy can also be extended to include failure ofthe course and University disciplinary action.c. During examinations, you must do your own work. Talking or discussion is notpermitted during the examinations, nor may you compare papers, copy from others, orcollaborate in any way. Any collaborative behavior during the examinations will result infailure of the exam, and may lead to failure of the course and University disciplinaryaction.

Disability Statement: Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: The University of California Merced iscommitted to ensuring equal academic opportunities and inclusion for students withdisabilities based on the principles of independent living, accessible universal design anddiversity. I am available to discuss appropriate academic accommodations that may berequired for student with disabilities. Requests for academic accommodations are to bemade during the first three weeks of the semester, except for unusual circumstances.Students are encouraged to register with Disability Services Center to verify theireligibility for appropriate accommodations.
