Mechanics of Materials gives the student basic tools for stress, strain and deformation analysis. Methods for determining the stresses, strains and deformations produced by applied loads are presented. Engineering design concepts are integrated throughout the course. At the completion of the course, students must be able to:

CLO-2: Analyze statically determinate and indeterminate structures for safety based on strength or deflection considerations. (C4)
CLO-3: Carry out research in one of the assigned topics on their own and explain the topic in the form of a report.  (A3)[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”COURSE CONTENTS” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1667362236774{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
