Beer &
Johnston, 3rd edition: Mechanics of Materials
|
COURSE
OBJECTIVES: |
1. |
Understand
the use of free body diagrams to determine external and internal
forces in members of structures. |
2. |
Learn to
analyze stresses and the corresponding deformations in
structural members. |
3. |
Learn the
difference between axial loading torsion, pure bending and
transverse loading and their respective effects on members of a
structure. |
4. |
Students
will improve their problem solving skills. |
5. |
Students
will improve their communication skills through group study,
group project reports, and homework in class presentations. |
6. |
Students
will improve their computer programming skills. |
7. |
Students
will be encouraged to participate in team work. |
