Develops basic concepts of engineering approaches to problem solving and the skills for the design and timely fabrication of the designed product.
Introduces static equilibrium of rigid bodies. Topics include scalars and vectors, forces, free-body diagrams, structural analysis, friction, center of gravity, and moment of inertia.
Presents the analysis of systems of forces on a deformable body. Topics include tension, stress, and shear applied to beams, columns, shafts, and other machine and structural parts.
Examines the motion of bodies relative to each other in two and three dimensions. Topics include force-acceleration, work-energy, and impulse-momentum relationships.
Introduces engineering thermodynamics. Topics include the laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties of materials, energy transfer, thermodynamic cycles, and mixtures.
