19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of this course is to teach methods to obtain, transform and transfer various motion types, -Introduce and study different types of mechanisms and the principles associated with their kinematic analysis and design, -Demonstrate how to implement these principles on mechanisms and machines.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	Students who attend this course can do the systematic analysis of a mechanism, calculate its degree of freedom, draw its kinematic chain. Given basic design requirements, they can dimension a four-bar linkage and crank-slider mechanism. Furthermore, they can perform the kinematic analysis of a given mechanism at least using two different methods.

Learning Outcomes:

1	Students who take this course learn the definition of mechanism, and the basic structural components of a mechanism.;
2	They get the ability of obtaining the degree of freedom of a mechanism, and kinematic analysis and synthesis of certain mechanisms.;
3	They can do kinematic analysis of mechanisms;
4	They can design lever and planar cam mechanisms.;

22	Course Content:

Week	Theoretical	Practical
1	Introduction to the theory of mechanisms, basic definition s and concepts, definition and classification of joints.
2	Definition of degree of freedom, degree of freedom of joints.
3	Kinematic chains:Classification and calculation of degrees of freedom
4	Classification of mechanisms, and obtaining their degree of freedom, and exceptional cases.
5	Criterion for constrained motion: Grübler's theorem.
6	Planar coupler mechanisms, Grashof's criterion, transmission angle, Alt's construction.
7	Introduction to kinematic analysis, loop equations.
8	Kinematic analysis by means of complex numbers (position and velocity analysis)
9	Kinematic analysis by means of complex numbers (acceleration analysis)
10	Kinematic analysis by graphical methods, Aronhold-Kennedy theorem.

Measurement and Evaluation Techniques Used in the Course	As midterm and final exams, twowritten exams are given to students.
Information	Due to large number of students take-homes are not assigned and the number of midterm exams was dropped from three to one. However, during the pandemic, students are given two midterms exams according to the circumstances.
