ENGR& 214 Engineering Statics

5 CR

Engineering Statics introduces students to the mechanics of rigid bodies in static equilibrium. Students will solve practical engineering problems involving the loads carried by structural components using vector analysis (both 2D and 3D) applied to rigid body systems and subsystems. Content includes static equilibrium, force and moment resultants, free body diagrams, distributed loads, trusses, frames and machines, internal forces, shear and moment diagrams, and friction.
Prerequisite(s): MATH& 151 and PHYS& 221 with a C or better.
