Modeling, analysis, and simulation of dynamic systems. Models for the dynamics of systems from different disciplines derived using differential equations and then transformed into state-space and input/output forms, and finally simulated. Relevant concepts from Laplace Transform, linear algebra, and complex variables covered. The models analyzed for transient response and frequency response properties.

Principles of machine element design principally from a functional perspective, including safety, endurance, strength, and usage. Design project explores other issues.

Kinetics and Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies. Newton's laws, work-energy and impulse-momentum principles, laws of linear and angular momentum, conservation of momentum, planar motion of rigid bodies, and introduction to vibration of single-degree-of-freedom systems.

Important mechanical properties of materials engineering such as yield strength and fracture toughness experimentally investigated with a view towards materials selection and design. Skills emphasized: experimental technique, statistical analysis of data, report writing, and oral presentation.
