A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Basic machine and mechanism concepts

Basic machine and mechanism concepts cover the definition of a machine, the distinction between machines and mechanisms, classification of mechanisms, and the fundamental principles of kinematic pairs and degrees of freedom. Mastering these ideas is essential for the exam because they form the foundation for analysing and designing any mechanical system.
