EGR 211 Engineering Mechanics-Statics

Quantitative description of forces, moments, and couples acting upon engineering structures. The free-body diagram is used to understand the equilibrium of a whole physical system through isolation of each component particle or body.

Prerequisites

MTH 201 with C- or better AND PHY 204

EGR 212 Engineering Mechanics-Dynamics

Dynamics mathematically describes the motions of bodies under the action of forces. The first part introduces kinematics which deals with the geometry of motion without considering applied forces. The second part, kinetics, relates the forces on bodies to the resulting motions.

EGR 214 Principles of Dynamics

Dynamics mathematically describes the motions of bodies under the action of forces. The first part introduces kinematics which deals with the geometry of motion without considering applied forces. The second part, kinetics, relates the forces on bodies to the resulting motions.  The topic of kinetics is introduced without an emphasis on impulse and momentum. First offering in spring 2015.
