Engineering plays a vital part in shaping our lives today. Everything we touch and do is directly or indirectly
influenced by mechanical engineering, which is the oldest and broadest of all engineering fields. In order to
excel in mechanical engineering, thorough understanding of statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid
dynamics, materials science, and structural analysis is essential.
By completing this case study, you will demonstrate that you have acquired key fundamental concepts in
statics, dynamics and thermodynamics needed to tackle and solve advanced engineering problems in your
future engineering studies.
Completion of this assignment will address the following learning outcomes:
LO1 Explain the fundamental concepts and principles of engineering mechanics.
LO2 Apply basic principles of solid mechanics, including statics and dynamics.
LO3 Demonstrate an understanding of the physical processes which govern thermodynamic phenomena.
