ME 261 — Dynamics of Solid Mechanics
BSc BSc Mechanical Engineering · Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
Objectives The student should be able to familiarize and identify the various precautionary measures taken before attempting an experiment. The student should be able to identify and use personal protective clothing at each and every lab session. The student should be able to observe the safety measures that are related to activities in the laboratory. The student should be able to use measuring tools accurately and be able to work with fellow colleagues in an efficient manner. The student should have the ability to design and conduct experiments supervised by a lab technician as well as to analyze and interpret data for each lab session attended. The student should have the ability to communicate effectively to colleagues at the lab and also present a report on lab sessions accurately. The student should be able to produce lab reports that are up to standard and also be able to record the necessary and important values and figures. The student should also in the end have the ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
