After this course, the student:
- The student is able to translate real world problem into a physics/mathematics model
- Student clearly identifies the system and its relevant variables
- Student identifies and discusses the assumptions made
- Student is able to generalize and discuss the limits of validity
- Student looks critically at the end result: is it logical?
- Student is critical on dimensions of variables
- The student can solve 2D Newtonian Mechanics problems
- Student recognizes whether the situation is best addressed with Newton’s second law, conservation of energy, or conservation of momentum
- Student is able to use basic mathematical skills to solve Mechanics problems, i.e. basic algebra and calculus, while using modelling skills
- The student can communicate efficiently about engineering problems
- Student presents the solution in clear and logical steps, with explanation, pictures and free-body diagrams, while using modelling skills
