Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't Wait for the Series I look forward to the complete series. This is an area which is lacking in much of our population. A basic understanding of engineering will benefit everyone, and motivate some to seek a deeper understanding.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Clear explanation with excellent diagrams I am a "cartoon" kind of learner so the structure and flow of this pilot fits me to a tee. I am looking forward to the "full course treatment." I have grandchildren I would love to teach about the wonderful world of engineering and would like to use this series to accomplish this.

Overview

Unravel the foundations of mechanical engineering and discover how powerful it can be to understand, design, and analyze the simple machines and structures around you.
Engineering School for Everyone: Statics

01: Engineering School for Everyone: Statics

Join Professor Haden to deconstruct a simple system—the pulley—and through this project, gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the machines and structures in your everyday world. As you dive into simple machines, you’ll see how learning the foundations of mechanical engineering—such as the laws of physics and conservation of momentum—can lead you to accomplish more complex tasks and systems. With this lecture, you’re taking the first step toward greater capabilities in the analysis of mechanics.
