Rationale and
Description
The primary purpose of the study of engineering mechanics is to develop the capacity to predict the effects of force and
motion while carrying out the creative design functions of engineering. This capacity requires more than a mere
knowledge of the physical and mathematical principles of mechanics; also required is the ability to visualize physical
configurations in terms of real materials, actual constraints, and the practical limitations which govern the behavior of
machines and structures. One of the primary objectives in a mechanics course is to help the student to develop this
ability to visualize, which is so vital to problem formulation, Indeed the construction of a meaningful mathematical
model is often a more important experience than its solution. Maximum progress is made when the principles and their
limitations are learned together within the context of engineering application. (Merriam J.L, Kraige, L.G., 2014)

Strategies
Teaching ang Learning Strategies
Lectures/Discussions: These are appropriate conveyance of various topics covered under this course in the form
of lectures, discussions (face to face or online), plus written explanations, relevant video clips, links to
appropriate web based resources, or combinations of these.
Skills Sharpening Activities: These are course works intended for applying the acquired learning of a student.
Included herein are short exercises for processing the day's learning, to be submitted during or right after a class;
assignments for strengthening one's understanding of the topics, to be submitted before the start of the next class; and
problem-solving activities for testing one's ability to use his/her learning, to be given and submitted at specified dates.
Learning Initiatives. Students are expected to read the discussions about the particular topic in the textbook and/or
reference books/materials, because this is the only practical way for them to prepare for learning the topics for
discussion. Each student is also expected to raise relevant questions about aspects of the topics at hand that he/she do
not fully understand yet, both during classes and afterwards through any accepted form of messaging. Assessment
Strategies
Written Exam: There will be two (2) major examinations [or equivalent] to be conducted as scheduled by the
Department unless announced otherwise. The examinations will cover the topics discussed for the given period but
may include topics from the preceding period and from pre-requisite courses due to the continuity of concepts. These
will be closed books, closed notes written exam and will be done in-class, unless there is any prohibition for doing
so. The examinations will include any of the following: problem solving; identification; essay.
