APL100

This document provides information about the Applied Mechanics Department course APL100: Engineering Mechanics for the second semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. The 3-credit course will cover topics in statics, dynamics, and vibrations using the 10th edition textbook by Beer et al. Evaluation will consist of two minor tests, a major exam, assignments, and quizzes. Attendance is mandatory, and grades will be reduced for absences above 40%. Tutorial problems will be provided, and multiple professors will participate in lectures and tutorials.

TUTORIALS
A separate sheet listing the problems from the text book will be supplied to the students. The
students are expected to prepare these problems and discuss them in the tutorial class.
EVALUATION OF THE COURSE
Minor 1 : 25%
Minor 2 : 25%
Major : 40%
Assignments / Quizzes : 10%

Attendance Policy: Students are expected to attend all the lecture and tutorial classes.
• One grade will be reduced if a student’s attendance is between 60% to 75 %.
• Two grade will be reduced if a student’s attendance is between 50% to 60 %.
• If a student's attendance is less than 50%, he / she will be given "F" grade.

Only one common make-up minor test will be scheduled for the students who miss either minor 1
or minor 2 due to medical reason (A medical certificate from IIT Hospital is compulsory). In
general, the make-up examination will be more difficult than the regular examination.
