COURSE LEARNING GOALSThe goal of the course is to introduce engineering and physics majors the concepts of statics. The course is expected to provide an in depth knowledge of mechanics of structures so that the students can solve real world problems. We will be using vector methods all along. You may like to brush up your background on vectors. The course is heavily based on problem solving skills. The course will improve the analytical and mathematical skills of the students as well. Statics is a basic engineering subject and therefore majors of all engineering disciplines learn the subject. You will find applications in almost every engineering discipline including structures, buildings, bridges, trusses, dams, biomechanics of bodies, mechanical engineering applications to name a few. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here. |
