Abstract: The aim of this paper is to geometrize time dependent Lagrangian mechanics in a way that the framework of second order tangent bundles plays an essential role. To this end, we first introduce the concepts of time dependent connections and time dependent semisprays on a manifold $M$ and their induced vector bundle structures on the second order time dependent tangent bundle $Rimes{T}^{2}M$. Then we turn our attention to regular time Lagrangians and their interaction with $Rimes{T}^{2}M$ in different situations such as mechanical systems with potential fields, external forces and holonomic constraints. Finally we propose an examples to support our theory.
