I. COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The study of this branch of mechanics in engineering deals with the state of motion of particles and bodies under the action of

forces. Dynamics is subdivided into kinetics and kinematics. Kinematics is the science which expresses the mathematical

relationships existing between displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time. It deals with the motion of particles and bodies

without regards to the forces required to produce or maintain the motions. Kinetics is the study of the effect of unbalanced

forces on the motion of bodies which therefore have accelerated or non-uniform motion.

II. DESIRED LEARNING RESULTS

Expected Lasallian Graduate

Attributes

(ELGAs)

At the end of the course, the following goals must be achieved:

HAS PASSION FOR EXCELLENCE 2.1. Analyze the motion of particles in rectangular, cylindrical and

curvilinear coordinate systems using vector mechanics; calculate

relative motion relationships between particles in translation.

2.2. Apply Newton’s 2nd

law of motion to relate the forces acting on a

particle to the resulting motion of the particle; use the work-energy

method to predict particle motion; use impulse-momentum equations

to solve impact problems involving particles.

2.3. Analyze the motion of rigid bodies undergoing both translation and

rotation; compute the derivatives of vectors resulting from both

changes in magnitude as well as direction.

2.4. Determine the inertia descriptions of rigid body relative to a

coordinate system..

GOD-LOVING, MORALLY UPRIGHT 2.1. Exhibit the spirit of Faith by interpreting, judging, and evaluating

in-depth understanding of the concepts, theories, problem-solving

techniques and issues related to the topic addressed in light of the

Gospel.

PATRIOTIC, ECOCENTRIC 2.1. Manifest the spirit of communion when engaged in engineering

issues and class projects by spending extra time and effort using

locally adopted technologies.

III. FINAL OUTPUT (Based from ELGA-designed Rubric)

The final output is a complete transformation of students’ basic knowledge and skills in solving application problems in higher

engineering subjects where this course is one of the core and foundation subjects in major areas of discipline in engineering
