What this paper is about
Following topics are included in this paper: concepts of forces, moments, equilibrium, free body diagrams, Newton’s laws, work, energy, impulse, momentum of a rigid body and fundamental vibration systems. Forced vibrations is also covered.
The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/assets/Uploads/Documents/IEA-Graduate-Attributes-and-Professional-Competencies-2021.1-Sept-2021.pdf
How this paper will be taught
Lectures will be held at the rooms designated below.
There will be 3 lectures/week that needs to be attended & 1 tutorial/week . Tutorials will be a place to work out sample problems and these practice questions will be posted on to moodle.
The labs will replace tutorials on certain Thursdays (specifically the 3rd August, 17th August, 7th September and will run in G.B.13) where you will be completing 3 tasks and an additional assignment problem with each assessments given a time of 2 weeks to complete. Solidworks and MATLAB are two major software for the lab sessions. Students should have access to these software (links will be made available).
In total, 3 lab reports and 1 assignment will need to submitted. There will be a penalty of 5% for each day after the deadline has passed. No more than 5 day-late submissions will be allowed, except for under special circumstances for which approval has been given by the paper convener.
Lecture notes and Panopto recordings of lectures will only be made available after each lecture & tutorial.

Assessments
How you will be assessed
The assessment of this paper comprises one assignment, three lab reports and 2 tests and a Final examination.
All tests and exam are compulsory.
Students must submit an "Extension of Deadline/Special Consideration form" if they cannot attend these tests. Otherwise, these tests will be considered as "Failing to complete" and results in an IC grade.
The tests are open book while the exam is not.
Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.
