RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER COURSES
(Describe, if any, using maximum 50 words in 1 paragraph)
This course is perquisite for control system course MENG 332 as well as mechanical Vibration course ME
433. Rigid body dynamics course MENG233 is one of the prerequisite for this course. Knowledge gained
from rigid body dynamics to derive the governing equation of motion for different mechanical systems and
components are utilized as well as knowledge gained for differential equations course MATH201 is
utilized in the solution and interpretation of the solution for the equations of motion of a mechanical
system. Mythology of design and engineering drawing software such as AUTOCAD are used to develop,
design, and build mechanical vibratory system of practical use.
