Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide a broad conceptual understanding of energy as it applies to all disciplines of engineering. This will include a familiarity with both Imperial and Metric systems when dealing with energy related problems.

Course Description:

Energy and power are basic to all engineering disciplines. Part 1 of this course provides an overview of energy concepts and principles. As such, it will be very broad and not too deep. The various types of mechanical energy will be covered in detail, as well as thermal, radiation, elastic and hydraulic energy. Content and example problems will be presented using both Metric and Imperial units. Part 2 will continue by covering the related subjects of power and momentum. This course is intended for engineers, not physicists. Derivation of equations will only be used where useful.

Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide a broad conceptual understanding of power as it applies to all disciplines of engineering. This will include a familiarity with both Imperial and Metric systems when dealing with energy and power related problems.

Course Description:

The concept of energy and power is basic to all engineering disciplines. Part 1 of this course provided an overview of energy concepts and principles. Part 2 continues with a similar overview of power. The various types of mechanical power will be covered in detail. An introduction to momentum is included, with an explanation of the difference between energy and momentum. Included is a basic introduction to electrical power, but a thorough discussion of electrical energy and power is beyond the scope of this course. Content and example problems will be presented using both Metric and Imperial units. This course is intended for engineers, not physicists. Derivation of equations will only be used where useful.
