This course is an introduction to the study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. We will study the dynamics of particle motion and bodies in rigid planar (2D) 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. --------------------------- Recommended Background: To be successful in the course you will need to have mastered basic engineering mechanics concepts and to have successfully completed my courses en titled an “Introduction to Engineering Mechanics” and “Applications in Engineering Mechanics.” We will apply many of the engineering fundamentals learned in those classes and you will need those skills before attempting this course. --------------------------- Suggested Readings: While no specific textbook is required, this course is designed to be compatible with any standard engineering dynamics textbook. You will find a book like this useful as a reference and for completing additional practice problems to enhance your learning of the material. --------------------------- The copyright of all content and materials in this course are owned by either the Georgia Tech Research Corporation or Dr. Wayne Whiteman.

This course is very important to every Mechanical Engineering students, this is very useful to me for improving our subject.Thank you for giving opportunity.
FA
A brilliant course, gave me a great foundation for more advanced courses in mechanical engineering. When ever i use some of the things i learned in this course in my work i think of Whiteman.
ST
It's really good. I am revising these concepts in the best possible ways through this course!
OW
Very informative, and the explanation is very clear and easy to understand
MG
This series of lectures are still awesome, but those old styles of units is annoying
MM
" Start from known to Unknown" to solve problem is very useful in all types of problem.Representation is very good.Mukund Mehta

I'd highly recommend this course for people working on Automotive Projects to get the basics of mechanics involved in this course,.
SN
Amazing contents and excellent delivery. Absolutely loved the course..
AS
Thank You very much for this course dear Dr. Whiteman, I have really appreciated the whole course.
RM
Thank you so much for this course . I was able to clear all my concepts . All of your courses are awesome. Again , Thank you so much

Awesome course for Design Engineers as well design professionals.. It gives basic concepts as well as application to practical problems.
I would just like to say that Prof. Whiteman is a great explainer. I would like to complete most of the courses by him that are available on Coursera.
A good thorough course for engineers. The videos and practice problems were very helpful in practicing and understanding the material.

The courses are extremely helpful and Professor Whiteman teaches amiably with great clarity.
And I have a personal suggestion: the questions in quiz are great and challenging, but I don't think they should be challenging in calculation. When I did not have my calculator with me, there was nothing I could do to deal with those weird numbers in the questions.
Anyway, I really love the mechanical engineering series and hope Professor Whiteman can put on more courses.

worth watching.
good experience
Very good
It was the best series of courses that i have attended up till now. A big gratitude and thank you to Dr. Wayne Whiteman for the course. It was a great experience to attend the course and improve my skill set in the course subject. The learnings I have received form the course are always going to helps me in my future work.
Thank you.
Excellent course and I hope it will lay the foundation for the 3D dynamics and more advance courses in Mechanical Engineering. The professor is someone who knows a lot about it and i recommend to every Mechanical Engineer to take this course & thanks for offering this to me.
Excellent teaching by Professor Whiteman. Easy to understand and simple explanations which render even complicated concepts easy to grab. Moreover, he relates the concepts to real world applications which makes the course even more interesting. Best course on Coursera.
Very instructive and informative course. I am so proud to have finished it. Although the errors and typos were a little bit excessive relative to a course, nevertheless this hasn't change by opinion about the instructor as a competent professor. Thank You.
Engineering Systems in Motion: Dynamics of Particles and Bodies in 2D Motion is an excellent course that will give you the knowledge you need to understand 2D dynamics. The professor is someone who knows a lot about it. I recommend it.
Dr. Whiteman, is a professional, considerate and knowledgable lecturer who is an invaluable one not only because of the mentioned attributes, but also he respect non-native speakers by teaching gently and clearly. Bless you Dr.
Great course to learn about Engineering Systems in Motion. I highly recommend this course. Thank you for offering this valuable course to me.
Amazing course!
t helped me a lot to understand the topic of Dynamics and to see my environment in a broader way. I highly recommend it.
Very very good course. Superb explanation. Nice teaching. Very neatly explained. Good use of ICT Tools. Thank you very much Professor.
I don't go to Georgia Tech, but this free online course taught me more about engineering dynamics than my professor at my university.
