Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
• Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem
• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in arts, science, engineering and construction to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Identify, describe and explain the basic artistic, scientific and mathematical principles
• Select and thoroughly apply knowledge, methods and tools in arts, sciences, engineering sciences and construction to solve problems involving these disciplines
• Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies
• Demonstrate self-awareness, asses themself, and develop appropriate learning strategies.

Learning Outcomes of UE

To understand and get familiar with the elements, principles and basic theorems of Kinematics and Statics (equilibrium of forces and energetic methods) of mechanical systems composed of rigid bodies and material points.
To solve classical but original problems of Statics and Kinematics, from an adequate reasoning and a rigourous application of the laws addressed during the course.
To draw MNV (bending moment, normal force, and shear force) diagrams in isostatic systems of beams.
To understand the basics of Kinetics (translational and rotational momentum, kinetic energy, inertia tensor)
To understand the related mathematical elements: vector calculus, systems of linear equations, differential calculus, and trigonometry.
To develop intuition and physical feeling with respect to mechanical phenomena.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The content gathers the ones of learning activities AA I-MRDV-020 et AA I-MRDV-021.
Pedagogical consistency: Kinematics and Statics are inseparable, they form the basis of energetic methods and more fundamentally of the Dyamics of mechanical Systems (cf. BAB2).
