Free Online Mechanical Engineering Courses (Part-2)

Continuing with our previous post, we will be sharing some new courses on Mechanical engineering available on the platform of Coursera. 
1.       Introduction to Engineering Mechanics
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The course is an introduction to learning and applying the principles required to solve engineering mechanics problems. Concepts will be applied in this course from previous courses you have taken in basic math and physics. The course addresses the modeling and analysis of static equilibrium problems with an emphasis on real world engineering applications and problem solving.
2.       Applications in Engineering Mechanics
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The course applies principles learned in my course “Introduction to Engineering Mechanics” to analyze real world engineering structures.  You will need to have mastered the engineering fundamentals from that class in order to be successful in this course offering.  This course addresses the modeling and analysis of static equilibrium problems with an emphasis on real world engineering systems and problem solving. 
3.       Structure Standing Still: The Statics of Everyday Objects
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
The Statics of Everyday Objects is a course about how structures react to forces exerted on them while remaining unmoved.
4.       Engineering Systems in Motion: Dynamics of Particles and Bodies in 2D Motion
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The course is an introduction to the study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures.  We will study the dynamics of particle motion and bodies in rigid planar (2D) motion.  This will consist of both the kinematics and kinetics of motion.  Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity, and acceleration, all as a function of time.  Kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies and how it affects their motion.
5.       Advanced Engineering Systems in Motion: Dynamics of Three Dimensional (3D) Motion
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The course is an advanced study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures.  We will study the dynamics of rigid bodies in 3D motion.  This will consist of both the kinematics and kinetics of motion.  Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity, and acceleration, all as a function of time.  Kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies and how it affects their motion.
6.       Fundamentals of Fluid Power
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
In this course, you will be introduced to the fundamental principles and analytical modeling of fluid power components, circuits, and systems.
You will learn the benefits and limitations of fluid power compared with other power transmission technologies; the operation, use, and symbols of common hydraulic components; how to formulate and analyze models of hydraulic components and circuits; and how to design and predict the performance of fluid power circuits.
This course is supported by the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power, and is endorsed by the National Fluid Power Association, the leading industry trade group in fluid power.
7.       Sports and Building Aerodynamics
TU Eindhoven
The course explains basic aspects of bluff body aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with application to sports and building aerodynamics. It is intended for anyone with a strong interest in these topics. Key fields addressed are urban physics, wind engineering and sports engineering.
8.       3D CAD
NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITY
The course starts with introduction of technical drawings. It covers both 2D and 3D CAD.
Subtitles: Chinese, Korean and English
9.       Robotic Motion Systems
UNIVERSITY OF CALOFORNIA, IRVINE
In this course you will learn about robotic motion systems for on-ground robots (chassis, wheels, bodies, arms, legs, head), flying machines (drones, fixed-wing, rotary systems), underwater and space-based systems. 
You will explore the use of both the Arduino and Raspberry Pi (small, affordable single board computers) to design and develop these robotics and IOT devices. The course will explain how to integrate robotic motion systems with the onboard computer and optical systems to create fun new projects.
