Engineering 270 - Engineering Mechanics I

This course introduces the basic theoretical concepts, procedures and methodologies needed to understand the mechanical behavior of objects in static equilibrium. Topics to be covered include 2d and 3d particle and rigid body equilibrium; analysis of frames, trusses, beams and machines; centroids; distributed loading; moment of inertia; internal forces and moments; and an introduction to stress and strain. In addition to developing competence in applying standard problem-solving procedures, students also apply their understanding in real world contexts. Prerequisite: PHY 117 and MTH 112 or equivalent. Restrictions: Engineering majors only. Enrollment limited to 20.
