Student Outcome Statements

This course is a detailed study of forces, moments, couples, resultants of force systems and equilibrium analysis of rigid bodies utilizing freebody diagrams. Topics include analysis of forces acting on members of trusses, frames and machines; introduction and development of shear-force and bending moment diagrams; Coulomb friction; centroids; center of mass; moment of inertia; polar moment of inertia; product of inertia; virtual work; and hydrostatic pressure. Applications to engineering structures and mechanical systems are strongly emphasized. (3 lecture hours)

IAI: EGR 942
Prerequisite: PHY 201 
Corequisite: MAT 233

This course is a sequel to Statics in which the kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies are explored in two and three dimensions. Other topics, such as methods of work-energy, impulse-momentum and moving reference frames, are examined as they apply to particles and rigid bodies.  Applications to engineering structures and mechanical systems are strongly emphasized. (3 lecture hours)

IAI: EGR 943
Prerequisite: ENG 220 or equivalent

This course is an engineering study of mechanics of deformable bodies/strength of materials. The course includes analysis of the elastic and inelastic relationships between external forces acting on engineering structures and the stresses and deformations produced; tension and compression members; members subjected to torsion and bending; buckling (columns) combined stresses; repeated loads (fatigue); energy loads and impact; and influences of the properties of materials. (4 lecture hours)
