Overview of Engineering mechanics-statics
This course is meant to introduce students to principles of equilibrium of forces by studying distribution of forces in members of a body using Newton’s laws of motion.
Free body diagrams are drawn and forces involved are analyzed to establish their magnitudes and directions.
Examples of bodies analyzed include; shear, bending moments of forces and truss analysis.
This unit is meant to introduce engineering students to equilibrium of forces by drawing of free body diagrams and analyzing involved forces.

1. Institutional strategies
Institutional strategies are modes in which university goals for the unit are achieved.
Academic resources should be as per the instructors direction.
Each lesson is designed to last three hours for theoretical work.
Practical exercises are required to be done every week for two hours.
Academic goals of university programs are guided by course prescriptions under the leadership of concern lecturer as per set objectives for the unit.
3
Continuation……..
Engineering students have to adhere to the laid down course outline.
The unit is to last for one semester during the first year
Course unit is meant for undergraduate mechanical engineering students
It’s provided that mechanical engineering students should adhere to laid out university provision during the course. The course is meant to last for one semester in the first year.
4
Course
To introduce engineering students to general principles of equilibrium of forces that are fundamental in engineering design.
To show basic applications of design fundamentals in designing structures.
Course objectives is meant to introduce students to distribution of forces in free body diagrams.

2. Course objectives
To introduce mechanical engineering students to equilibrium of forces in bodies using Newton’s laws of motion.
To illustrate application of forces to trusses and shearing moments of forces.
Illustrate distribution of forces in free body diagrams.
Course objectives are meant to guide lecturers and students on concept learning and time durations to acquire information. Objective are also meant to keep students in check as per set obligations for the unit.
6
Continuation
The primary objective of engineering mechanics-statics is to enable students to learn fundamental concepts of design that are applied in designing engineering structures.
The goal of this study is to establish distribution of forces, constraints and principles of forces as per Newton’s forces law of motion.
The primary objective of this course is to lay foundation of engineering principles in designing process of mechanical systems.
7
Institutional strategies and activities
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of engineering design models.
Pragmatic practices on basic principles of engineering statics.
Evaluation of emerging trends on mechanical engineering.
Involve theoretical and practical analysis of engineering models in every learning topic of the unit.
8
Instructional technologies
Perform evidenced based research in engineering designs.
Involve students in analyzing technologically unfolding innovations in the current world of engineering evolution.
Instructional technologies are keys to enhancing creating innovative minds in students.
9
3. Design plan and implementation
Engineering statics books and CAD design software to be embraced in analysis of models.
Participate in inter-university science and engineering fairs that will help in incubation of innovativeness in students.
Use of CAD software technology and analytical skills in designing and simulation of systems.
10
Continuation….
The unit course is meant to last for four months
An engineering professor is to teach the unit
Communication means between students and lecturers is through continuous assessment and project administration.
Personnel equipped to teach this unit mu be a professor in mechanical engineering field with at least reasonable experience in design of engineering models.
11
Continuation……
Engineering design competitions to be organized to encourage students to be creative.
Proper funding for successful models for production should take a lead in the promotion of innovation during lessons.
Engineering design models with support funding for successful models will encourage students to be creative.
12
4. Evaluation criteria
Theoretical studies to be evaluate through continuous assessment exams (CAT) which should be administered twice in a semester.
CAT to add up to 20% of total score.
End of semester exams to add up to 50% of the total score.
Evaluation of students achievements to be done theoretically with it adding up to 70 %.
13
Continuation……
Practical part of the studies to be evaluated in form of design project to run through the entire semester.
Practical work to be evaluated by a panel of three professors who determine individual score.
Practical work to cover 30% of the entire semester work.
Practical work to be done in the semester in form of design project. Three professors to supervise students and award marks adding up to 30%.
14
Continuation……
Report on assessment to be presented to students.
A report is to be generated by concern professors to positively criticize work of students and give them ways to improve their work.
15
Follow up plan.
Upon completion of the unit, a professor should be assigned to students to guide them in design projects in subsequent years.
Students are given opportunities to be guided by professors in their stay in university, they will be constantly evaluated and guided on best practices on their studies.
16
Conclusion
In conclusion, student productivity depends on how they are groomed by professors in charge. Great work need to be done to ensure that they are productive and motivated at all times. Professors and students should put enough effort to promote innovativeness in them.
