EGR 250 Statics/Strength of Materials (5 Credit Hours)
Class Hours: 4
Lab Hours: 3
Clinical/Work Experience Hours: 0
Prerequisites: MAT 121 , MAT 161 , MAT 171 , or MAT 175
Corequisites: None
This course includes vector analysis, equilibrium of force systems, friction, sectional properties, stress/strain, and deformation. Topics include resultants and components of forces, moments and couples, free-body diagrams, shear and moment diagrams, trusses, frames, beams, columns, connections, and combined stresses. Upon completion, students should be able to analyze simple structures.
Student Learning Outcomes:
- Calculate reaction forces in a structure using equations of Equilibrium.
- Draw free body diagrams of two dimensional force systems.
- Calculate stresses and deflections in axial/torsional/bending systems.
- Calculate centroids and moments of inertia for areas.
- Apply engineering best practices and standards to design safe and efficient mechanical and structural components.
