EGEN 201 - Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Credit(s): 4

Prerequisite(s): M 172 and PHSX 220.
This course covers vector treatment of static mechanics in two and three dimensions; discrete and distributed force systems; analysis of trusses, beams and cables; coulomb friction on surfaces, screws and belts; the distributive properties of areas and volumes; and the methods of virtual work and stationary potential energy. (Fall Semester)

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

Analyze complex mechanics problems in static equilibrium.
Possess a working knowledge of the scientific principles of classical static mechanics.
Solve appropriate statics problems through the analytical application of mechanical principles.
