Content

Course Content

The subject "Mechanics" forms one of the central pillars of engineering studies. The course is aimed at prospective graduates of general or vocational schools who are about to decide on a course of study. A simple example from engineering will be used to provide the first insights into the terminology of the subject. In addition, the course participants should become familiar with the engineer's approach to practical technical-scientific problems.

Course Goals

After the end of the course the participants will be able to

  • deal with the terms "force and moment".
  • recognize where forces and moments act in a component.
  • handle the terms "internal forces and stresses" and establish connections between them.
  • handle the term "strength" of a material.
  • dimension parts of a machine on the basis of the above terms.

Previous Knowledge

Basic knowledge of mathematics and physics at high school level.
