Course Introduction
This course covers the fundamentals of engineering, applying the concepts of basic mathematics and physics at
advanced level. The aim of this subject is to develop an understanding of engineering applications and develop
the ability to solve mechanical problems
Course Content
 Introduction to engineering mechanics
 Motion in one, two and three dimensions
 Newton Laws and its applications
 Momentum
 Rotational dynamics and kinematics
 Energy
 Gravitation
 Oscillations
Mapping of Class Learning Outcome (CLOs) to Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
S. No CLOS PLOs Bloom Taxonomy
CLO1 Discuss the basic terminology related
to mechanics and Newton’s laws and
applications of those laws to problems PLO1, PLO2 C3
involving translation and rotational
motion.
CLO2 Apply the fundamental conservation
laws such as that of linear momentum,
PLO1, PLO2 C3
angular momentum and energy to
solve the mechanical problems.
CLO3 Demonstration of Newton laws and
apply them to gravitation and simple PLO1, PLO2 C3
harmonic motion.

Administrative Instruction
 Student Attendance is expected to be 100%, and minimum 80% (mandatory) attendance that is
required to sit in the final exams
 Student must pay the attention for reading the text books chapter for course assessment
 All the direct assessment tools i.e., Quizzes, Assignment, Midterms, Project and final Exams must be
attempted. Failure to attempt in any of the assessment tools without any medical reasons may results
to fail in that particular assessment. All quizzes would be taken together for all sections.
 Students are advised to study the previous lecture before next class for better understanding.
 Class participation is highly encouraged. It develops more interest. Students are also advised to spare
some time for group discussion with their classmates to explore new ideas.
 Handouts and related notes will available on FES internet course portal.
 For any query please contact instructor during office time.
