Engineering Science

The course provides students with the knowledge to determine the strength and stiffness of engineering structures being used. The structures that will be used in this course are bars, pins, bolts, shafts and beams, and the types of applied loadings are axial forces, deformations due to the change in torsional loads, axial loads, and transverse loads. At the end of the course, students should be able to determine the mechanical properties of the materials with respect to their strength and stiffness. Students should be able to calculate stresses, strains and deformations in structures due to various types of loading conditions. In addition, they should be able to solve problems related to statically determinate structures.
