DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERINGDYNAMICS (ME EN 2400/ME EN 2410) |
|
CREDIT: 4 & 2 hours. COURSES: ME 2400, Dynamics, meets the entire semester and is mainly taken by Mechanical Engineering students. ME 2410, Particle Dynamics, meets with 2400 but only until March 15. ME 2410 is intended for Civil Engineering students and others who need to only cover particle dynamics. The exam on March 15 will be the final exam for students in 2410. If you have any question about which course you should be registered for, see your departmental advisor. PREREQUISITES: (for both 2400 and 2410): Statics, ME EN 1300, CVEEN 2110 or equivalent. Everyone should have completed Calculus I and, at least, be currently registered for Calculus II. OBJECTIVES: 2400 - DYNAMICS At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to:
At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to: TEXT: R.C. Hibbeler, Engineering Mechanics, Dynamics, Pearson Prentice Hall, 10th Edition, 2004. This is the first semester this book is being used. I assume, earlier editions will have similar text, but the homework problems will very likely be different. PROJECT: In the latter half of the class, 2400 students will form teams of 2-3 and carry out a dynamics related project. These projects normally involve experimentation or numerical modeling. Everyone must be a member of a team. You can not do the project on your own. INSTRUCTOR: W. K. Van Moorhem, 2220 MEB, van@mech.utah.edu , 581-7687,office hours: MTHF 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, by appointment or if I am free. TEACHING ASSISTANT: Abhijit Argarde, 173 KENN, manuargade@yahoo.com, 581-8790, office hours: M 12:00 Noon to 2:00 PM, TWHF 12:00 Noon to 1:30 PM or by appointment. HOMEWORK: Homework assigned during any week will be due on Tuesday of the following week. Late homework will not be accepted unless you have discussed the matter with me and have my approval before the homework is due. Approval will not be given after the homework is due except in very special situations. You may work with others on the homework, but the work you turn in should reflect your understanding of the problem. Copies of another person's solution to a problem are not acceptable. GRADING: The course grade in 2400 will
be based on: The course grade in 2410 will be based on:
