MECH 2102 (Mechanics)
This is a foundation course that provides the fundamental concepts required for the understanding and development of basic engineering sciences, and builds on the principles developed in Physics 1100. This first course in mechanics concentrates on the all important concepts of statics.
Statics of Particles, Force Systems and Their Equivalents; Statics of Rigid Bodies; Rigid Bodies in Space; Centroids and Centres of Gravity; Analysis of Frames and Machines; Friction; Second Moments of Area and Moments of Inertia.
Prerequisite - PHYS 1100 (Physics); MATH 1100 (Mathematics); SC 1807 (Safety in Science Lab (Lab Safety)); SC 1808 (WHMIS)
Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 3 hours/week = 39 hours
Laboratories -2 hours every second week for a total of 5 labs = 10 hours total
MECH 2111 (Statics and Dynamics)
This course provides the fundamental concepts required for the analysis of basic engineering problems and builds on the principles introduced in previous physics courses. Students are introduced to elements of statics and dynamics appropriate for a first course for technicians studying marine engineering.
Analysis of Force Systems; Principle of Moments; Equilibrium; Friction; Centroids, Moments of Area, and Moments of Inertia; Kinematics of Rigid Bodies; Plane Motion; Kinetics of Rigid Bodies; Work, Power, and Energy.
Prerequisite - MATH 1100 (Pre-Calculus) or MATH 1114 (Mathematics for Mariners); PHYS 1103 (Physics); SC 1807 (Safety in Science Lab (Lab Safety)); SC 1808 (WHMIS)
Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 4 hours/week = 52 hours
Laboratories - 2 hours/week every second week for a total of 6 labs = 12 hours
MECH 2207 (Theory of Machines)
This course develops and expands the principles and theories of basic engineering mechanics and looks at the application of these principles to specific machine elements.
Velocity and Acceleration Diagrams; Balancing of Rotating Masses; Gear Trains; Vibrations; Special Topics in Machines.
