AERO 211 – Aerospace Engineering Mechanics Beginning of Semester Course Outcomes Survey Course Objective: The objective of AERO211 is to make students proficient in the fundamentals of Newton’s laws and their application to statics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, and to prepare them for follow-on courses in Aerospace Engineering. Course Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students will have demonstrated mastery of the following 18 concepts and skills related to the application of engineering mechanics. The course outcomes are listed below. Please indicate your level of understanding of each of these outcomes (concepts and skills) at the beginning of the semester according to the following scale (indicate by checkmark for each course outcome): 1 2 3 4 5 do not barely neutral somewhat have a good understand understand understand understanding Course Outcome 1 Understand and correctly apply USCS and SI unit systems, understand the difference between mass and weight, and understand and correctly apply the concept of dimensional homogeneity in equations used to model engineering systems. 2 Understand the importance of free body diagrams (system definitions) and be able to construct them for particles, and rigid bodies. 3 Understand equilibrium relationships for non-accelerating particles acted upon by external forces. 4 Understand definitions of moments and couples, including calculation and representation as vectors. 5 Understand definitions and characteristics of equivalent forcecouple systems. 6 Understand definitions of center of mass, center of gravity and centroids as applied to volumes, areas and lines, and the application of these for composite bodies. 7 Understand the application of centroids to calculate equivalent resultants for distributed loads. 8 Understand, recognize, and apply common representations of idealized supports for 2D and 3D rigid bodies. 9 Understand equilibrium relationships for non-accelerating 2D and 3D rigid bodies acted upon by external forces and the significance of external reactions. 10 Understand equilibrium relationships to calculate internal forces within individual members of 2D and 3D trusses.
