- Students who passed Statics but find Dynamics significantly harder — particularly with rotating reference frames, rigid body kinematics, or energy methods for complex systems
- Students facing resit or make-up exams in Dynamics who need intensive, focused remediation before their next attempt
- Students completing homework and problem sets throughout the semester who need regular guided support alongside exam preparation
- Students whose programs include vibrations or mechanical systems content built directly on Dynamics foundations

Outcomes: What You’ll Be Able To Do
Solve Engineering Dynamics problems — from particle kinematics and Newton’s second law through to rigid body motion, work-energy methods, and impulse-momentum — accurately and with clearly shown working. Apply the correct analytical method for each problem type: choosing between Newton-Euler equations, work-energy, and impulse-momentum based on what is given and what is asked. Analyze the kinematics of mechanisms, rotating bodies, and linked systems using relative motion, rotating frames, and instantaneous center methods. Explain dynamic behavior in structured written responses that reflect genuine physical understanding — not just substitution into memorized formulas.
What We Cover (Syllabus / Topics)
Engineering Dynamics course content is broadly consistent across universities worldwide, typically following Hibbeler or Beer & Johnston. The topics below reflect standard coverage across undergraduate Dynamics courses in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Gulf region. Always share your course syllabus with your tutor so sessions align precisely to your program’s sequence and depth.
A note on method selection: One of the most challanging aspects of Engineering Dynamics is knowing which method — Newton-Euler, work-energy, or impulse-momentum — to apply to each problem. Your tutor builds this decision-making discipline from the first session alongside topic coverage.

How MPB Tutors Help You (The Learning Loop)
Diagnose: The tutor asks about your engineering program and year, current topics, recent test or homework marks, upcoming exam dates, and which problem types feel most unclear — whether that’s rigid body kinematics, method selection, impact problems, or 3D dynamics. This shapes every session.
Explain: Each topic is built from your syllabus using clear, step-by-step explanations that emphasize correct problem setup and method selection — because in Engineering Dynamics, choosing the right approach before writing a single equation is what separates correct solutions from circular dead ends.
“Engineering Dynamics is harder than Statics not because the mathematics is more complex — it is because students must now choose between multiple valid solution methods. The tutor’s job is to make that choice instinctive.”
As broadly affirmed in engineering mechanics education — see the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) — Physics for Engineers research
Practice: You work through past exam questions and problem sets matched to your course style — Hibbeler-style or Beer & Johnston-style problems across all major Dynamics topics, with method selection drilled explicitly alongside calculation accuracy.
Feedback: Your tutor reviews your working in detail — identifying incorrect method selection, free-body and kinetic diagram errors, wrong moment of inertia application, and sign convention mistakes — and corrects them with specific, actionable guidance that prevents the same error recurring.
Retest/Reinforce: Topics where errors are consistant are revisited with fresh problems and increasing difficulty, spaced so problem-solving discipline holds under timed exam conditions.
Plan: Your tutor maintains a session roadmap anchored to your syllabus, homework deadlines, and exam schedule — adapting as results come in across the semester.
All sessions run on Google Meet with a digital pen-pad or iPad + Pencil for live free-body and kinetic diagrams, velocity-acceleration sketches, instantaneous center illustrations, and step-by-step equation of motion walkthroughs.
Study Plans (Pick One That Matches Your Goal)
MPB offers three plan types: a catch-up plan (1–2 weeks intensive) for students with an imminent exam or resit, a full course prep plan (4–8 weeks) covering all major topics with systematic problem practice and method selection training, and ongoing weekly support across a full semester. All plans are structured after the diagnostic session based on your syllabus, problem-solving gaps, and assessment schedule.

FAQ
Is Engineering Dynamics hard?
Engineering Dynamics is consistently rated harder than Statics by most engineering students. The added difficulty comes not from harder mathematics but from the need to select between multiple solution methods — Newton-Euler, work-energy, and impulse-momentum — and to construct both free-body and kinetic diagrams correctly before solving. Rigid body kinematics in particular challanges students who lack a clear systematic approach. With structured 1:1 tutoring, method selection becomes instinctive and marks improve measurably.
What is the difference between Engineering Dynamics and Classical Mechanics?
Engineering Dynamics and Classical Mechanics cover overlapping content — Newton’s laws, energy, momentum, and rigid body motion — but from different perspectives. Engineering Dynamics is applied and problem-focused, using the Newtonian framework with an emphasis on practical mechanism and machine analysis using Hibbeler or Beer & Johnston. Classical Mechanics in a physics program extends further into Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations. Students bridging both can explore MPB’s dedicated page for Classical Mechanics.
Can you help with Engineering Dynamics homework and problem sets?
Yes — MPB provides guided homework and problem set support throughout the course. Tutors explain the relevant mechanics principles, walk through analogous worked examples, and review your diagram setup and method selection. Our services aim to provide personalized academic guidance to help you understand concepts and improve skills. You complete and submit your own work in accordance with your institution’s academic integrity policy.
Which textbooks does MPB Engineering Dynamics tutoring cover?
MPB tutors are familiar with the major Engineering Dynamics textbooks used at universities worldwide — including Hibbeler’s Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, Beer, Johnston & Cornwell’s Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics, and Meriam & Kraige’s Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics. Share your institution’s prescribed textbook and problem sets with your tutor so sessions align to your specific course materials from the first session.
What happens in the first session?
The first session begins with a short diagnostic — your engineering program, year, current topic, recent homework or test marks, and upcoming exam dates. The tutor then works through a priority problem type with live diagram construction, method selection, and step-by-step solution. The session closes with a concrete plan for the sessions ahead. Bring your course syllabus, a recent problem set, and your exam schedule.
Does strong Dynamics preparation help with later engineering courses?
Yes — significantly. Engineering Dynamics is the direct prerequisite for Mechanical Vibrations, Machine Design, Robotics, Vehicle Dynamics, and Structural Dynamics. Students who genuinely master rigid body kinematics, Newton-Euler equations, and energy-momentum methods find every subsequent dynamics-related engineering course considerably more accessible. Students planning ahead can explore MPB’s pages for Engineering Statics, Engineering Physics, and Fluid Mechanics.
