Fundamentals of Kinematics: Provide a comprehensive overview of kinematics, including the study of motion without considering forces. Cover key concepts such as position, velocity, acceleration, and the kinematic analysis of mechanisms. Discuss graphical and analytical methods for analyzing the motion of machinery components.

Mechanism Design and Analysis: Explore the principles of mechanism design, including the analysis and synthesis of mechanical linkages, cam profiles, and gears. Discuss common mechanisms such as four-bar linkages, slider-crank mechanisms, and their applications in machinery. Include methods for designing and analyzing complex mechanisms.

Dynamics of Machinery: Examine the dynamics of machinery, focusing on the study of forces and torques that cause motion. Cover topics such as force analysis, dynamic balancing, and vibration analysis. Discuss the effects of inertia, friction, and external forces on machinery performance and stability.

Advanced Topics in Machinery Dynamics: Address advanced topics such as multi-body dynamics, nonlinear dynamics, and the analysis of transient forces and vibrations. Discuss techniques for modeling and simulating the dynamic behavior of complex machinery systems, including the use of computational tools and software.
