EGEN 205 - Mechanics of Materials

Credit(s): 4

Prerequisite(s): EGEN 201.
The principles of engineering mechanics are applied to deformable bodies, including stress, strain, Hooke’s Law, thermal stress, torsion, combined stresses, stress transformations, deflection of beams, and columns. (Spring Semester)

Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to

Develop the skills to analyze stress and deformation characteristics of structural members under complex loading.
Possess a working knowledge of the scientific principles relating stress and deformation of structural members.
Solve appropriate structural problems through the analytical application of mechanical principles and flexural properties of materials.
