Course Description: Requisite: Calculus (differentiation and some integration). This course provides a
fundamental knowledge of dynamics, including kinematics and kinetics of particle, system of particles, and
rigid bodies in planar and three-dimensional motion. A systematic approach, namely Vector Analysis and
Modeling Procedure (VAMP), is introduced to precisely describe linear and angular positions, velocities,
accelerations, forces, and torques for generating a set of equations of motion, without missing any terms.
Other modeling of work/energy equations, impulse/momentum equations, impact of particles and rigid bodies*,
and Euler equations* are also addressed. Not only are students trained to have the ability of modeling
dynamic systems in terms of equations of motion, but they are also experienced with engineering insight of
physical laws. (*optional)
Course Objectives: The primary goal of this fundamental course is to help students become knowledgeable
engineers to describe dynamical systems in a systematic approach. On this foundation, students will be
prepared to take intermediate dynamics, system dynamics, advanced dynamics, vibration, and structure
dynamics.

Course Grading:
Homework 0%, Homework Assignments: examples plus problems with ending numbers 4 and 9, or specially
assigned. It is not required to turn in homework, but the selected problems from homework are tested in quiz.
Quiz 36% (4 best scores out of 5 quizzes, each of 9%), Midterm 30%, Final 30%, Attendance 4%.
Missed Exam: NO make-up exams will be given without the permission of the instructor. Only unusual and
extenuating circumstances warrant a make-up exam. Warning: No grace points after final for any reason.
Study Group: (2-3 members) Do your homework by yourself first, and discuss your solution with your team
members once a week at least.
