Mechanics
Mechanics is about the study of forces, energy, and movement.

We will look at how forces act, especially in equilibrium - important in structures. 

We then go on to look at moments and consider their significance in bridges and stability.

We will look at motion in a straight line, and consider Newton's Laws of Motion.  These were written 350 years ago, but are just as valid today as they were then.  We then go on to consider how work is done when a force is moved, then move on to efficiency and conservation of energy.
