This course is an advanced study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. We will study the dynamics of rigid bodies in 3D 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.

TOP REVIEWS FROM ADVANCED ENGINEERING SYSTEMS IN MOTION: DYNAMICS OF THREE DIMENSIONAL (3D) MOTION
I am from robotics background and it helped for me to understand the detailed motion and trajectory of 3-D mechanisms .
Excellent course offered by Gtech and superb teaching by Prof. Dr. Wayne Whitemen.
Thank you so much!
Best notation I've seen, the professor is really dedicated and gives insightful and intuitive explanations.
ive learned in this course very helpful in my career, mainly in my project in motion and dynamic problems
so thankfully to lecture this course
