Text: Engineering Mechanics: Statics & Dynamics
(or Dynamics), 10th Ed., by R. C. Hibbeler
Course Description:
Dynamics of a particle. Kinetics of a system of particles.
Kinematics of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions.
Free and forced vibrations with and without viscous
damping.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisite: MAE 2101 (Statics)
Co requisite: Math 340 (Intro to Diff. Eq.)
Attendance: Attendance will not be monitored. It is each student’s responsibility to cover any
material due to missed lectures. Call the Snow Line (262-3346) for school closure information.
Homework:
Homework will be due at the start of class. You will typically have at least one week after
homework is assigned. Study groups are acceptable and encouraged, but homework should be
based on individual effort and work and intermediate calculations must be shown. Homework
turned in after it is due is subject to a 30% penalty. If extreme circumstances should present
themselves, consult with me as soon as possible. Each homework set will consist of around 5-7
problems from the chapter. Each problem will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 5, with partial credit
given for correct procedures and deductions taken for errors, missing units or improper format.
Format for Homework:
Homework should have the following format elements:
Stapled (1 pt), On engineering paper (1 pt), Variables defined (1/2 pt), Sufficient work shown
(Varies), Units shown (1/2 pt), Answers clearly indicated (1/2 pt), At least one full line between
problems (1/2 pt)
Exams:
There will be three exams given during the semester, each counting equally in your grade. I will
give you at least a week’s notice as to the exact date of the exam as well as the material for which
you will be responsible on each test. Each unit is covered by an exam, so no exams will be
dropped. Unless arrangements have been made PRIOR to any exam, THERE WILL BE NO
MAKE-UP EXAMS. For each exam, you will be allowed to bring a 3x5 inch index card with
formulas and constants written on it. Calculators are also allowed to be used for the exams.

The grading ranges are posted on my website. The ranges are: 4.0 (89.5 to 100), 3.x (79.5 to 89.4),
2.x (69.5 to 79.4), 1.x (59.5-69.4) and 0.x (0 to 59.4). Ranges include +’s and –‘s.
Disabilities:
Students with disabilities should provide their letters of certification and accommodation within the
first two weeks of class. Special accommodations for tests are required a week prior to the
scheduled exam date.
Calculators:
Calculators and computers are a part of the modern engineer’s tool set. They provide an alternate
means to check your answers and to reduce computation errors, but are no substitution for
engineering common sense. If you can program and apply calculators to assist you in your
problem solving, you are increasing your skill set. Calculators will be allowed during exams;
HOWEVER, enough INTERMEDIATE STEPS MUST BE SHOWN to convince me that you
understand how to solve the problem.
