Title
Mechanical Myths and Myth Calculations (1 credit hours)
Course Description
This course has been prepared to cause the reader to think about solutions, rather than structured to recite a lot of technical facts.   Popular and long-standing myths about physical and mechanical phenomena are discussed.  Some cases of faulty calculations are analyzed and presented.  This course will enable the student to apply reliable means of evaluating unusual situations and look at the physical world in a new light.  The lesson contains many good points that could save a young engineer many hours of grief.
