Ge 8292 Engg. Mechanics Syllabus

This document outlines the syllabus for the GE8292 Engineering Mechanics course at Selvam College of Technology. The course covers topics in statics of particles and rigid bodies, properties of surfaces and solids, dynamics of particles, friction, and rigid body dynamics over 5 units spanning 75 periods. The objectives are to develop the ability to predict the effects of forces and motion in engineering design. On completing the course, students will be able to analyze rigid bodies in equilibrium, evaluate properties of surfaces and solids, calculate dynamic forces in rigid bodies, and determine the effects of friction.
