Engineering Mechanics — What This Subject Is About
To explain how forces act on bodies — at rest and in motion — so you can analyse simple machines and structures.
Common Curriculum • 1st Semester • All 41 Engineering Branches • 1st Semester (First Year — Common Curriculum) • Session 2026–27
About this document: The first year of a BTEUP diploma runs on one common curriculum for 41 engineering branches, so this subject is the same whether you are in Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil or Electrical. The subject areas below are from the official 1st-year curriculum (folder2627, NEP-2020). Paper-wise codes, marks and L–P hours are not stated here because they are yet to be confirmed from the official 1st-year PDF — please confirm them with your own polytechnic.
What You Will Study
Forces & Equilibrium
Types of forces; resultant and equilibrant; conditions of equilibrium.
When things stay still and when they move — the first question of mechanics.
Friction
Laws of friction; angle of friction; friction in simple machines.
Why things grip or slip, and how friction is used or reduced.
Laws of Motion & Simple Machines
Newton's laws; levers, pulleys and inclined planes.
The classic machines that multiply force — still the base of mechanical design.
Centre of Gravity & Moment of Inertia
Centre of gravity of simple shapes; moment of inertia in brief.
Where a body's weight acts, and how hard it is to turn it.
How This Helps You Later
Mechanics trains structured problem-solving — the same step-by-step thinking used in programming and in Data Structures.
Complete Syllabus
The four areas in the "What You Will Study" section above — Forces & Equilibrium, Friction, Laws of Motion & Simple Machines, Centre of Gravity & Moment of Inertia — are the complete subject content as per the official 1st-year common curriculum (folder2627, NEP-2020), which is the same for all 41 engineering branches. Paper-wise codes, marks and L–P hours are not stated here because they are yet to be confirmed from the official 1st-year PDF — please confirm them with your own polytechnic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Engineering Mechanics the same for all branches?
Yes. The first year of a BTEUP diploma runs on one common curriculum for 41 engineering branches, so this subject is the same whether you are in Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil or Electrical.
How many marks is Engineering Mechanics worth?
