Course Overview

The Rigid Body Dynamics training course is an in-depth study of rigid body basic mechanics, a subset of engineering dynamics. Coursera provides the programme in partnership with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). The course imparts knowledge of critical concepts like force and motion, work-energy, impulse-momentum in the context of Newton’s second, and how it acts over time and displacement.

Apart from the high-quality video lectures, which are about 15 min in length, the class will also consist of many readings and practice problem-solving. Students will also receive homework assignments, and the Rigid Body Dynamics programme will culminate with a final exam, which will incorporate all important topics learnt by you throughout the course.

Upon successfully finishing the Rigid Body Dynamics certification course, you will get a course-completion certificate from Coursera and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). This certificate will be displayed on the Coursera accomplishment page, is also printable and shareable and can be easily linked to your LinkedIn page. The training will take almost 14 hours to complete and will have English subtitles.

Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

1: What if I can’t meet the deadlines?

The Rigid Body Dynamics course by Coursera features flexible deadlines, which can be reset depending upon your schedule and convenience.

2: Post-registration, from when will I have access to lectures and assignments?

Access to lectures and assignments depends on the type of enrollment. If you’ve selected the audit option, some of the programme content may be inaccessible to you like the tests and the certificate. To get access to locked content, you need to purchase the certificate option. The certificate can be purchased during or after you’ve audited the course.

3: What will I get with purchasing the certificate?

Purchasing the certificate experience will provide you access to all course elements of the Rigid Body Dynamics certification training. Upon satisfactory completion, Coursera will award you a course certificate, which you can view on your Coursera accomplishment page. You can take the print out of the certificate and share it on your LinkedIn profile.

4: How can I get financial aid?

Coursera provides the option of financial aid to students. You can apply for the same by clicking on the option that’s next to the course ‘Enroll’ button. Fill out an application, which you will get the notification in 15 days.
