Trimester 1
Engineering Mechanics is a module offered to Year 1 Undergraduate Students in Mechanical and Energy Engineering (Nyarugenge and Gako Campuses). The Module intends to develop in the student an ability to understand principles of mechanics and instrumental techniques for the practical issues of every life. The course aims to provide the basics of Engineering Mechanics as applied to Engineering practice in static condition. It covers force systems and the equilibrium equations of coplanar forces, non coplanar forces and collinear forces. Also it covers Centre of Gravity, Moment of inertia, Friction and Trusses. Finally it deals with kinematics and kinetics. This course is the pre-requisite for all design courses in engineering.
