The document provides two 14-week curricula for courses covering dynamics of rigid bodies. Curriculum 1 focuses on planar dynamics, covering topics from chapters 12-19 over 14 weeks. Curriculum 2 covers three-dimensional dynamics, beginning with planar topics but then focusing on three-dimensional kinematics and equations of motion using chapters 12-14, 17 and 20. Both curricula assign reading and problem sets each week to work through the topics.

The topics covered in a course on dynamics vary according to the judgments of instructors and the
objectives of particular departments. Here we provide two curricula for basic courses that can be modified
to meet the requirements of individual programs. The first curriculum is for a course that covers planar
dynamics of rigid bodies. The second one is for a course that includes three-dimensional dynamics of
rigid bodies.
