Course Learning Outcomes
| 1 | Define Newton's laws of motion. |
| 2 | Recall trigonometric laws and apply to the addition and decomposition of vectors quantities. |
| 3 | Identify the moment of a force and calculate its value about a specified axis. Define the moment of a couple. |
| 4 | Describe the concept of dry friction and analyse the equilibrium of rigid bodies subjected to this force. |
| 5 | Construct "Free Body Diagrams" of real world problems and apply Newton's Laws of motion and vector operations to evaluate equilibrium of particles and bodies. |
| 6 | Apply the principles of equilibrium of particles and bodies to analyse the forces in planar truss members. |
| 7 | Discuss the concepts of ``centre of gravity'' and ``centroids'' and compute their location for bodies of arbitrary shape. |
| 8 | Apply the concepts used for determining centre of gravity and centroids to find the resultant of a generally distributed loading. |
| 9 | Use methods learnt for equilibrium of bodies and the resultant of a generally distributed loading to compute the internal forces in beams. Generalise the procedure to construct bending moments and shear force diagrams (internal forces) and utilise this information in engineering design. |

Specific Course Requirements
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
