Engineering Mechanics

This course focuses on the fundamentals of statics and strength of materials, key areas in engineering mechanics. The statics component addresses the equilibrium of rigid bodies under the action of forces, encompassing both coplanar and non-coplanar force systems. Core principles of statics are introduced with an emphasis on engineering applications, including the analysis and design of trusses, frames, cables, and other structural systems. The strength of materials component explores the behavior of materials under various loading conditions, emphasizing the analysis of stress, strain, and the mechanical response of materials. Together, these topics provide a solid foundation for understanding and designing safe, efficient, and functional engineering structures.

• Apply the principles of forces in two and three dimensions and their applications in engineering systems.

• Apply the principles of moments in two and three dimensions and their applications in engineering systems.

• Apply fundamental principles of statics to analyze the equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies and their applications in engineering structures, such as trusses, frames, and cables.

• Apply the concepts of stress and strain to determine material responses under axial, torsional, and bending loads, integrating strength of materials principles.
