The subject will make students acquainted with the basis of engineering applications and computational methods of mechanics of rigid body and rigid body systems. For pedagogical reasons, statics, kinematics and dynamics are discussed separately. Students train logical engineering thinking. The main aid is to simplify the view on a mechanical system. The concepts of equilibrium during both static state and movement and principles of making free body diagrams of bodies and body systems will become the main elements of this thinking. Very important is to elucidate the basic concepts of engineering mechanics for being able to communicate easily with mechanical engineers in practice.
