Is Lagrangian mechanics taught in engineering?

Engineers are less concerned about conserved quantities and are more interested in the equations of motion which could be readily obtained by either Lagrangian or Newtonian mechanics. Since it is not a necessary requirement in the engineering syllabus, I guess its use is minimal in industry.

Do mechanical engineers use mechanics?

Mechanical engineers typically use mechanics in the design or analysis phases of engineering. If the engineering project were the design of a vehicle, statics might be employed to design the frame of the vehicle, in order to evaluate where the stresses will be most intense.

What is the point of Hamiltonian mechanics?

Hamiltonian mechanics gives nice phase-space unified solutions for the equations of motion. And also gives you the possibility to get an associated operator, and a coordinate-independent sympletic-geometrical interpretation. The former is crucial in quantum mechanics, the later is crucial in dynamical systems.

What is mechanical engineering and why study it?

Studying mechanical engineering is a combination of science, maths, and computing. It’s the study of machinery, and how to manufacture and maintain it at all levels. It’s a limitless subject, which plays a role in everything from vehicles to cities, energy to artificial intelligence, military to healthcare, and everything in between.

Are Lagrangians and Hamiltonians used by electrical engineers?

Yes lagrangians and hamiltonians are indeed used by engineers. To be precise, used by some types of engineers like aeronautical engineers, aerodynamics etc.. As far as i know electrical engineers dont use the lagrangian nor hamiltonian forms of mechanics nor electromagnetism.

What are the different modules in Mechanical Engineering?

Some modules you may study are: 1 Structural materials 2 Engineering concepts 3 Solid mechanics 4 Thermodynamics 5 Thermofluids 6 Biomedical and bioengineering 7 Electromechanicals 8 Systems modelling

What classes do engineering mechanics students take?

Engineering mechanics students take courses such as Mechanical Vibrations, Aerodynamics, Elementary Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, and Design Problems in Engineering. Engineering Mechanics students are also encouraged to engage in undergraduate research with a faculty member.
