Course Learning Goals
Students will:
- evaluate the theory behind and the applications of the analysis of engineering statics;
- analyze concurrent forces, the statics of particles, and equivalent force/moment systems of rigid bodies;
- evaluate centroids and center of gravity, second moments of area, and moments of inertia;
- analyze friction and internal forces; and
- apply the theory learned to the analysis of trusses, frames, and machines.
-
