Title: Identify the primary concepts and components of mechanical systems.
Course: Engineering Analysis and Applications II (21016) > Section: Examining Engineering Systems

Identification should include

- identifying the six simple machines and their applications explaining force
- using SI units and U.S. customary units, including formulas
- demonstrating application of force
- identifying how friction affects mechanical systems.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is knowledge of the physics concepts related to force in a mechanical energy system necessary for all engineers, not just mechanical engineers?
- Why are both SI units and U.S. customary units used in engineering?
- What are some innovative ways to demonstrate application of force?
- What resources are available to investigate application of force?
- What is friction? How does it affect systems?
