Engineering Dynamics

Course Code: BTM1223

Programme: Bachelor of Mechatronic Engineering Technology

Institution: Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA)

Course Description

This course introduces students to the principles of engineering dynamics, covering the motion of particles and rigid bodies under the action of forces. It provides the mechanical foundation essential for robot dynamics and machine design.

Topics Covered

• Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies
• Newton’s laws and equations of motion
• Work, energy, and power
• Impulse and momentum
• Planar kinetics of rigid bodies
• Introduction to vibration

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

1. Apply Newton’s laws to analyse the motion of particles and rigid bodies
2. Use work-energy and impulse-momentum methods to solve dynamics problems
3. Analyse planar kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies
4. Apply dynamics principles to engineering machine and robot design problems
