Learner goals and capabilities

The University of Memphis invites industry partners to collaborate with students enrolled in our advanced Newtonian Mechanics course. This course builds on foundational physics principles and focuses on deepening students' understanding and application of Newtonian mechanics.


Designed for undergraduate students proficient in calculus, trigonometry, and basic physics, students will develop skills in solving parametric problems, applying Newtonian mechanics to real-world situations, and enhancing their logical and intuitive problem-solving abilities. Employers can expect students to bring a strong analytical background and practical approach to projects.

Project Examples

Requirements

Ideal projects for this experience should align with the course objectives and allow students to apply their advanced mechanics skills in practical settings. Project activities that learners can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  1. Structural Analysis of Engineering Projects: Analyze the structural integrity of a proposed engineering project using Newtonian mechanics principles.
  2. Dynamics of Machinery: Evaluate and optimize the performance of machinery components through dynamic analysis.
  3. Robotics Motion Planning: Develop and test algorithms for the motion planning of robotic systems, ensuring accurate and efficient movement.
  4. Aerospace Engineering Challenges: Solve complex problems related to the dynamics of flight and spacecraft navigation.
  5. Biomechanical Analysis: Investigate the mechanics of human movement and design improvements for prosthetics or orthotic devices.
  6. Remote sensing applications: Mechanical and thermal remote sensing technology for extreme conditions. Evaluation of stress/ strain/ and temp. exposures of composite materials.
