COURSE TITLE: Applied Mechanics

COURSE CODE: TIE 1206

1.0 COURSE AIM

This course aims to providing a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Applied


Mechanics; laws, vapour and gas cycles, energy sources & conventions of thermodynamics in
engineering applications.

2.0 COURSE OBJECTIVES

The course is to give students of engineering a thorough grounding in the subject of Applied
mechanics. The emphasis is on the application of the theory to real life situations. The student
is supposed to understand and use the general ideas of Newton’s laws, force systems and
equilibrium of rigid bodies, understand and use the general ideas of structural analysis and
general ideas of center of gravity, centroids and moments of inertia.
