Applications in Engineering Mechanics

Fundraising and Development,

This course applies principles learned in my course “Introduction to Engineering Mechanics” to analyze real world engineering structures. You will need to have mastered the engineering fundamentals from that class in order to be successful in this course offering. This course addresses the modeling and analysis of static equilibrium problems with an emphasis on real world engineering systems and problem solving. --------------------------- Recommended Background: You will need to have successfully completed my earlier course “Introduction to Engineering Mechanics” in order to be successful in this course. --------------------------- The copyright of all content and materials in this course are owned by either the Georgia Tech Research Corporation or Dr. Wayne Whiteman.

mechanical engineer

it is very helpful to engineering first year student to understand concepts of engineering mechanics this course is easy but conceptual and ineresting I am a Mechanical Engineer and like most of them engineers, I had very weak concepts of basics of Mechanical Engineering.

Dr. Whiteman does a great job teaching this class and many other mechanical engineering classes also available as MOOCs.

Strongly recommended for all Mechanical Engineers.

I am a freshly graduated mechanical engineer.

I am a Mechanical Engineer and like most of them engineers, I had very weak concepts of basics of Mechanical Engineering.

Useless forum Great course thats great program for the students who is in mechanical engineering program.

Highly recommend for Mechanical Engineer.

I am not really happy with the quality of the course, but the courses from Dr. Whiteman are the only mechanical engineering courses available on Coursera.

Great review of various aspects of mechanical engineering, a "must" for any engineer Great course!

thank you dr whiteman I am already a mechanical engineer so I already had some of the necessary knowledge to afford this course without taking the earlier course "introduction to engineering mechanics", but if this is not your case, I recommend you to take this course first.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to apply mechanical engineer concepts in real life problems.

I've studied Mechanical Engineering at university, but this course is way better, in terms of clarity and feedback.

Enjoyed course very much As a Mechanical Engineer, I found this course very helpful in order to review some of the knowledge learnt during my degree, improving my skills and getting a different point of view regarding mechanical calculations.

I'm an Electrical & Mechanical Engineer graduated in 1971.

engineering mechanics

Applications in Engineering Mechanics is an excellent course.

You may find it very useful to purchase a copy of the recommended text (from which most if not all examples and test questions are taken), Engineering Mechanics: Statics by W.W. King and D.J.

It was quite useful for someone like me who graduated 7 years ago, moved to the project management side of engineering and needed a good refresher on engineering mechanics Excellent course.

This course really helped me brush up my concepts and Dr Whiteman helps you understand difficult things easily.I was honoured to be part of this course It is very helpful to engineering first-year student to understand concepts of engineering mechanics this course is easy but conceptual and interesting It is an excellent course and very useful.

excellent course for those who want to learn about engineering mechanics.

Excelent course following introduction to engineering mechanics.

The Applications in Engineering Mechanics course is a must for any engineer.

It was a great experience and an excellent opportunity to refresh engineering mechanics.

This course really helps to refresh my previous knowledge in engineering mechanics.This examples and illustrations used in this course are of great useful to grab the idea and also gain an enjoyable experience of online course.I hope more and more illustration will be added in the future course.

I did my electronics engineering several years back and for me this was sort of a review course in engineering mechanics - a subject that I love most.

This course is simply amazing and teaches you the Engineering Mechanics really well.. After taking this course, you will fall in love with this subject.. :) It has really advanced my basic knowledge on engineering field.

As a civil engineer, I learned basic engineering mechanics during my bachelor.

I have completed my course in application in engineering mechanics.

I'm a Civil engineer who's starting a msc course in Structural Engineering at USP, the largest university of Latin America, and your courses are being very useful for me to review some concepts and learn a lot of new details in Engineering Mechanics.

recommend this course

I can recommend this course to all who wants to enhance their learning opportunities about Engineering Mechanics.

I highly recommend this course because concepts are well explained by Dr. Whiteman, making easier to apply them to real world problems in Engineering Mechanics.

I would even recommend this course to anyone who is currently doing their graduate in mechanical engineering.

As this is my first course in Coursera I cannot compare it with another one, but I strongly recommend this course if you are interested on this kind of topics and on the real applications of the physics and maths that we learn at the university.

I would recommend this course to others.

I would difinitely recommend this course.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to study Statics again in a short period of time.

I can recommend this course, I did learn a lot about practical engineering applications.

Great course, Dr. Wayne Whiteman is an excellent lecturer, explains in great detail and gives several examples for practice.

THANKS TO Dr. Wayne Whiteman This course helped clarify the topics more.

Muy buen curso y la explicación del Dr. Wayne Whiteman Anther excellent course!

Thank you very much Dr. Wayne Whiteman.

Mexico I would like to thank Dr. Wayne E. Whiteman & Geogia Tech.for their time Very good experience.HME Thank you Dr. Wayne Whiteman for your very helpfull lectures we were able to participate.

Very tough but excellent experience good I am very thank full to Dr. Wayne Whiteman and team of Georgia Institute of Technology.I have sharp my EM knowledge after 15 year.

dr whiteman

Dr Whiteman explains most of the concepts really well however lots of practice required to master some of the concepts.

Thanks for your help Dr Wayne Whiteman As I have not being much part of this course till now but some concepts which I have done were dealt with Dr Whiteman.

Fantastic work by instructor, Dr Whiteman, In my opinion course should have been longer and it would be nice if engineering professors took the lead in using graphical aides, mpegs, flash, etc to teach concepts ...

Thank you Dr Whiteman.

Dr Whiteman is a great educator, I learned a lot.

very useful

It's a very useful and serious course with a lot of practical exercises.

I found this course very useful and well-taught, but too short: I hope Mr. Whiteman will continue teaching us mechanical engineering.

This course is very useful for engineering professionals as introduction into more detailed subjects to face in engineering career Excellent good course This course was very difficult.

Thanks Very useful,My self am improved in application problem after completing this course.Thank you Georgia tech for offering this course.I am Really excited to take my further studies in Georgia tech after Completing my UG.

real world

The material is presented in a logical and straight forward manner with applications to the real world.

it was more practical than others including more real world problem and it includes all the basics which helps to understand the subject with more clear picture I have my Masters in Mechanical Engineering and am also a licensed PE.

Once again thanks for having this course , I look forward to learning more in the next series of lectures good sir A very helpful course to understand real world problems good Very good course, for resharpening and getting hands on with mechanics applications.

Good and applications to real world problems Excellent teaching with practical problems.
