EGR 231 - Engineering Mechanics (1)

Engineering mechanics focuses on forces on particles, bodies, and objects. The course is divided into two sections, statics and dynamics. Statics encompasses situations where bodies are at rest or moving at a constant velocity. Dynamics includes situations which bodies possess acceleration. Students will participate in problem solving and team designs using fundamental concepts and principles. Course topics include equilibrium, structural analysis, work and energy, friction, inertia, momentum, and acceleration. Prerequisite: PHY 161
