COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will represent the traditional engineering dynamics. The dynamics engineering course deals with accelerated motion of a rigid body and particles. There are many problems in engineering whose solutions require application of the principles of dynamics, such as mechanical devices and industrial machinery to predictions of motions of artificial satellites or spacecraft. The course has the objective to develop in the engineering student the ability to solve and analyze any problem in dynamics in a simple and a logical manner.  Acceptable for credit, UC, CSU, and for ME-212 at Cal Poly.

TEXT:

You will not be purchasing a textbook for this course since all of the material used for the course is provided by Class4me.com.  The Class4me online material is placed on Canvas for your convenience but this material is copyrighted and you must pay a $69 access fee for its use.  You will have 1 week to pay this fee through the PayPal link on Canvas.  If you do not pay it by that time you will no longer have access to it.  In addition to the online material, Class4me is also providing a hardbound textbook for you to use.  The optional hardbound book can be picked up at Cuesta reserve desk.

 Required: VECTOR MECHANICS OF ENGINEERS: DYNAMICS, 7th Edition, by Beer and Johnston (You can pick up your copy of this hard bound book for the semester at the Reserve Desk in the library.)  Please return at the end of the term.
GRADES: Test Equally weighted (45%) 90-100 A (-)
Assignments (20%) (1 will be dropped) 80-89 B (+/-)
Miscellaneous (3%) 70-79 C (+)
Quizzes (32%) (1 will be dropped) 60-69 D (+/-)
+/- grades break at 3 and 7 (ex. 83 and 87)

TUTORS: Tutors may be available for free through Tutorial Services located in building 3300.

TEST AND HW FORMAT:  Each problem must:

  • Be neat, clear, and organized, use a ruler for drawing lines.
  • Draw free-body diagrams (if applicable) and label all variables. (-20% if missing)
  • state the equations used
  • have the answer written in the answer box with units
  • all pages must contain at the top:  NAME,  PAGE#/#
  • always use pencil and never write on the back
  • all lines must be drawn with a straight edge
  • print using uppercase letters
  • use 3 or 4 significant figures at each step in the calc (be consistent)
  • don't crowd work (one problem per page)
  • Use superscript format for units.  Example: 100lb not 100lb

TESTS/ QUIZZES:   NO make-ups or taking exams early will be permitted.  All tests are closed book, and only basic trigonometric calculators may be used. All work must be shown in order to receive credit and adhere to the format stated above.  Outside of class quizzes are open book/notes and you are NOT to use any other resources.  Students are not allowed to discuss their quizzes with any other students until after the quiz has closed.  Students must present a photo ID at each test.

DROPPING: Students who are not completing the assignments/Quizzes may be dropped from the class even though you are doing well on the tests.

TEST SCHEDULE (subject to change)

TEST CHAPTERS WEEK DATE TIME (Pacific Time)
Final Test all Saturday December 12, 2020 10:00-12:00 PM,

 

Note:

  • I highly suggest that you bring a SASE to the final as unclaimed finals will be recycled immediately after I grade the final. 
  • Exams that are going to proctored at a location other than Cuesta need to be taken at the same time.
  • Online students must bring a photo ID to all exams.
  • Quizzes and due dates can be found on Canvas and are due by 9 pm PT (Pacific Time). 
  • Proctor through live zoom and you most have a Camera on your devices.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Analyze problems involving particle kinematics and kinetics.
  • Analyze problems involving 2-D rigid body kinematics.
  • Analyze problems involving 2-D rigid body kinetics.
  • Analyze problems involving 3-D rigid body kinematics.
  • Effectively communicate legible problem solutions to be understood by engineers in and
    out of their specific discipline.
