Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
UNSW Sydney
This course continued to reveal the engineering mindset by studying Engineering Mechanics (emphasising Free Body Diagrams and Equilibrium). By combining experiments, analysis and design it showed the world 'Through Engineers' Eyes'. It looked at loads in two dimensional Statics: gravity, friction and wind. It also began to study Engineering Dynamics: work/energy/power and impulse-momentum. It continues to raise issues of engineering responsibility.
