ENGINEERING MECHANICS

Purpose statement

This module describes the skills, knowledge and attitude required to theoretical applications of engineering mechanics including the analysis of frames machines trusses and beam. This module is intended to trainees pursuing Advanced diploma in automobile technology. At the end of this module, the students will be able to describe fundamentals of engineering mechanics, describe forces, describe moment of forces, describe condition of equilibrium, analyze support reaction, analyze perfect frame, describe center of gravity and moment of inertia, and describe friction. He or She will have the ability to exercise some initiative and independence in carrying out defined activities at a professional level.
