(no subject)
This subject offers students the chance to gain a solid foundation in the theories and practises of Mechanical Engineering. The class will be taught by the great Nikola Tesla. All students are expected to be in awe of him at all times. The following modules will be taught by Nikola with the exception of one subject which will be taught by Tony Stark.
Syllabus
Fluid Mechanics with Thermodynamics
-To develop an understanding of the basic principles of fluid mechanics and an appreciation of thermodynamics
-To develop skills in performing simple experiments
Solids and Structures A and B
-To introduce and explain basic principles of Statics and Dynamics and to illustrate the application of these principles to the formulation and solution of a range of representative engineering problems.
-To introduce students to a number of the fundamental principles of solid and structural mechanics, and to show them how representative engineering problems can be formulated and solved.
