Learner Reviews & Feedback for Engineering Systems in Motion: Dynamics of Particles and Bodies in 2D Motion by Georgia Institute of Technology
About the Course
particle motion and bodies in rigid planar (2D) motion. This will consist of both the kinematics and kinetics of motion. Kinematics deals with the
geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity, and acceleration, all as a function of time. Kinetics is the study of forces acting on
these bodies and how it affects their motion. --------------------------- Recommended Background: To be successful in the course you will need to
have mastered basic engineering mechanics concepts and to have successfully completed my courses en titled an “Introduct...

A brilliant course, gave me a great foundation for more advanced courses in mechanical engineering. When ever i use some of the things i learned in this course in my work i think of Whiteman.

While the content was very good for the most part, there were sections where the lessons did not adequately explain some of the concepts. The material was very dense in places and certain steps were taken with limited explanation. For example -- I still am not sure on the subtleties of calculating impulses and momentum equations due to the fact that the use of the center of the bar moment of intertia vs. end of the bar was not ever addressed with which R to use in calculating the momentum (and why that r even exists in momentum). I think that the diagrams are based on the impulse momentum, and then we calculate the diagrams and other items separate from that, but honestly, there were many of these areas where I struggled to follow a sudden jump in the lectures.

The dynamics material covered is excellent in concept. The amount of exercises and feedback are only 10% of what is needed to actually learn well, from my point of view. The reference book doesn't align with the book from which the course material originates. Both books are recommended. Learn from them, along with the Coursera course, and gain a good start with dynamics.

Can be very challenging if you aren't well-versed in the various problem-solving tricks used for MechE problems (how & when to choose axes/reference frames, how to visualize the motion intended by the sketch, where/when to assume friction exists or does not exist, etc). Discussion fora are relatively inactive for assistance.

Really well explained. No complaints. It's just that, this course was slightly difficult for me compared to the preceding courses or those on Mechanics of Materials by Dr. Whiteman. But I understood the concepts well.

Good although there are some mistakes, for example, in some of the modules, there are no exercises.
