This unit is the follow-on to the first year Engineering Physics 1, and will introduce more advanced topics in Physics and Mechanics relevant to modelling engineering systems. These include:
Aims:
Students will be introduced to more advanced topics in Engineering Mechanics and shown further applications of the theory to real systems. They will acquire a solid background in the subject that will prepare them to deal with some of its most challenging engineering problems.
At the end of this unit, students should have an in-depth understanding of the mathematics underlying key concepts in Physics and Mechanics, including the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies in 3d, Lagrangian descriptions of mechanical systems and nonlinear behaviour.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, supported by live online sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises. The unit will be supported by weekly workshops, which will provide blended learning involving class discussion, problem solving, and/or group presentations. Students will be expected to actively participate in the workshops, and engage with readings, self-directed exercises, and problem-solving activities
The unit is assessed by 100% coursework, as follows:
3 x worksheets (20% each)
1 x worksheet (40%)
Worksheets will assess all ILOs.
