<p>Introduction to Engineering Mechanics is a Coursera course from Georgia Institute of Technology, taught by Dr. Wayne Whiteman. It covers the fundamentals of statics – forces, moments, and equilibrium of rigid bodies – as taught in a first-year engineering programme.</p><ul><li>Topics include particle equilibrium in 2D and 3D, moment calculations about points/lines/axes, couple moments, equilibrium equations, free body diagrams, centroids, and distributed force systems</li><li>5 modules, typically about 10 hours of study per week over ~2 weeks (self-paced)</li><li>Shareable certificate available on completion; financial aid accessible through Coursera</li><li>Assumes basic background in high school mathematics and physics; no formal prerequisites</li><li>Self-paced – audit mode is free; certificate paths may involve a fee unless financial aid is granted</li></ul><p>Relevant preparation for A-Level H2 Physics mechanics topics and first-year engineering programmes at NTU/NUS.</p>
