*The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see
Withdrawal dates explained for more information).
First unit on the principles of engineering mechanics covering statics and dynamics including vector algebra, kinematics and kinetics of single particles and system of particles using Newton's laws, energy and momentum methods, impacts. The main objective is to give students the confidence to apply these principles in solving practical engineering problems. The statics part of the unit deals with rigid body and bending moment diagrams. The unit also deals with solving for forces in various structures under varied load conditions.
WEIGHT:

ASSESSMENT: 3-hr exam (80%), tutorials and mid-term test (10%), lab (10%)
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, J Indonesia, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Z New Zealand.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, J, K, Q and Z click here for more information.
