When you finish you will be able to
Solve an engineering problem from first principles, without copying a similar case.
What you learn
- Write, for a new problem, the unknown with its unit, a drawing with the system boundary, the balance that governs it and the assumptions, before calculating.
- Set up the balance of forces and of moments of a body at rest and solve for the forces at its supports.
- Solve a circuit of cells or batteries that does not reduce to series and parallel with the junction and loop rules, and check it with a power balance.
- Calculate the elongation of a bar, the heat needed to warm water, the conduction loss and the pressure in a liquid, stating under what condition each law holds.
- Check a result with units, size and a second path, and explain each step without looking at the solution.
Who it is for
Young people aged 16 to 24 who study engineering or a technical program and can already set up an equation and use Ohm's law (the mathematics and the physics and chemistry courses). Examples from electrical engineering.
