    1. Learning Goals:

      1. Course
        2. Students will:
        1. evaluate the theory behind and the applications of the analysis of engineering dynamics;
        2. analyze the kinematics of particles and rigid bodies;
        3. evaluate force and acceleration of particles and rigid bodies;
        4. analyze work and energy and impulse and momentum of particles and rigid bodies; and
        5. apply the theory learned to the analysis of vibrations of rigid bodies.
