00:00:03.992 --> 00:00:09.490 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:11.830 align:middle line:84%
Before the first
rivet was hammered,

00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:14.960 align:middle line:84%
they knew that this bridge
could take the load.

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.530 align:middle line:84%
Well before the very
first takeoff run,

00:00:17.530 --> 00:00:20.660 align:middle line:84%
they knew that this
aircraft would fly.

00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:23.640 align:middle line:84%
When you design anything,
how do you know beforehand

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.250 align:middle line:90%
that it will work?

00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:27.520 align:middle line:90%
Livelihoods depend on it.

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:29.410 align:middle line:90%
Lives do too.

00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:33.060 align:middle line:90%
It's an awesome responsibility.

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:35.980 align:middle line:84%
To meet it, you need
to look at the world

00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:38.240 align:middle line:90%
through engineers' eyes.

00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:42.950 align:middle line:84%
And to get engineers' eyes,
you need engineering mechanics.

00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:47.410 align:middle line:84%
Engineering mechanics starts
with physics-- forces,

00:00:47.410 --> 00:00:51.090 align:middle line:84%
equilibrium,
acceleration, gravity.

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:54.720 align:middle line:84%
This helps you to
understand the world.

00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:57.490 align:middle line:90%
That's Classical Mechanics.

00:00:57.490 --> 00:00:59.375 align:middle line:84%
Engineers developed
their own version

00:00:59.375 --> 00:01:03.820 align:middle line:84%
to help them change the
world, to help them design.

00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:05.725 align:middle line:90%
That's Engineering Mechanics.

00:01:05.725 --> 00:01:10.840 align:middle line:84%
But for engineers,
it's more than that.

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.380 align:middle line:84%
Engineering Mechanics is
built into their souls.

00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:17.414 align:middle line:84%
It colours everything
they see around them.

00:01:17.414 --> 00:01:18.830 align:middle line:84%
When they look at
the bridge, they

00:01:18.830 --> 00:01:22.130 align:middle line:90%
think forces and bending motion.

00:01:22.130 --> 00:01:25.070 align:middle line:90%
They feel stresses and strains.

00:01:25.070 --> 00:01:26.970 align:middle line:84%
When they see an
aeroplane fly, they

00:01:26.970 --> 00:01:30.850 align:middle line:84%
visualise the lift
forces that defy gravity.

00:01:30.850 --> 00:01:34.260 align:middle line:84%
With just a little
mathematics, in this course

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:37.260 align:middle line:84%
you'll learn some basic
engineering mechanics.

00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:44.220 align:middle line:84%
You'll learn by experiments,
analysis, and design.

00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:49.270 align:middle line:84%
And you'll start to see the
world through engineers' eyes.

00:01:49.270 --> 00:01:52.610 align:middle line:90%
But be prepared.

00:01:52.610 --> 00:01:54.750 align:middle line:84%
Once you've opened
your engineers' eyes,

00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:56.740 align:middle line:90%
there's no going back.

00:01:56.740 --> 00:02:00.190 align:middle line:84%
Get ready for a
life-changing experience.

00:02:00.190 --> 00:02:07.019 align:middle line:90%
