    Learning outcomes of the course
    The students study rigid body dynamics, and they learn to choose a proper motor for a mechanism. The students study the fundamentals of electromagnetism and they build a rotating electric motor. The students also learn how to write and solve differential equations analytically.

    Knowledge and understanding:
    Students understand the principles of mathematical modeling of engineering problems.

    Engineering analysis:
    Students are able to apply their modeling skills to solving practical engineering problems.
    Prerequisites and co-requisites
    Expressions and equations. SI-unit system. The concepts of force and torque and Newton's laws. Dividing a vector into components. The basics of statics. Technical beam theory, and the relationship between the shear force, the bending moment and the deflection of a beam. Basics of differential and integral calculus.
    Course contents
    Rigid body dynamics, electromagnetism, Faraday’s law, Lenz’s law. Differential equations, analytical solution methods.
