Synopsis

This course is designed to introduce students to the basic principles and concepts in mechanics. It will deals with the resultant and resolution of force(s) acting on a particle, the equilibrium of a particle, the effect of force(s) on a rigid bodies, how to replace a force system with equivalent system and the equilibrium of rigid bodies. This course also includes the determination of centroid, analysis of structure and friction. At the end of the course, students should be able to demonstrate and apply the knowledge by solving various problems in Statics, which forms the basis of further engineering subjects especially Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials and Fluid Mechanics.

Teaching Methodology 1. Content delivery through lectures: three hours per week. Lectures are given based on the active learning approach, i.e. two-way interaction. For each of the subtopics, at least one example of test or exam standard will be discussed to enhance students understanding on the subject matter. Students will be given opportunity to raise questions that can improve their understanding on the subject matter. Tutorial: one hour per week. Students will be divided into groups (each group comprises not more than five students). Students are required to discuss and solve the questions given in their group.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity forms a fundamental bond of trust between colleagues, peers, lecturers, and students, and it underlies all genuine learning. At UTM, there is no tolerance for plagiarism or academic dishonesty in any form, including unacknowledged "borrowing" of proprietary material, copying answers or papers, or passing off someone elses work as one's own. A breach of ethics or act of dishonesty can result in: failure of a paper or exam within a course failure of an entire course (blatant plagiarism, cheating on a test or assignment) academic suspension or expulsion from the college
