Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Foundations

The Mechanical Engineering Foundations unit, ENG107, introduces students to the principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. These principles are essential for understanding mechanical systems. Students will explore particle kinematics and kinetics, applying Newtonian mechanics to solve dynamic problems. They will also develop the mathematical skills needed for advanced engineering applications, including vector mechanics, calculus, and algebra.
