ENGG2400: Mechanics of Solids 1

27% - 3 x Block Tests
19% - 9 x Weekly PSS (tutorial problem attempt) + weekly quizzes + 1 extra mark (apparently comes from you introducing yourself on Teams)
18% - 2 x Lab Report
36% - Final Exam (pre-COVID requirement is that you need 50% in the exam as well to pass but due to COVID, it's changed to 40%)

ENGG1300

This is a direct continuation of ENGG1300 (engineering mechanics). I personally found this course quite difficult mainly because ENGG1300 was a struggle for me. However you can still survive the course as long as you make sure you cover your basics and complete the tutorial problems (both hand in problems and study problems). The block test, however, is kinda yikes. You get 45 minutes to complete 3 (very long) questions - though you get an extra 15 minutes for upload time. I also want to add that there's also the civil engineering stream but they say that the civil stream is a bit easier than the mechanical engineering stream. I just chose the mechanical engineering stream because Kellermann is a good lecturer and he provides a lot of good material.

2x 2hr lectures, 1x 2hr tutorials

Dr David C. Kellermann

PSS (Problem Solving Session) tutorial problems are given as a hard copy for free (no soft copy because of copyright) and customised study pack is provided at the end of the term (based on your performance on each topics)

Hibbeler, Mechanics of Materials SI 10th edition
Didn't use it that much but some of the tutorial problems are taken from the textbook
