| Brief description of the Unit |
Within mechanical engineering, the understanding of how objects move and interact is fundamental to the design of engineering systems. This unit further develops the concepts of Newtonian mechanics which were introduced in the first-year physics unit. These concepts are the foundation of the field of engineering dynamics. The unit features an application-based treatment in order for students to be able to readily assimilate the theory and concepts introduced. |

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
