ENGN 1230

This course focuses on the study of mechanics concerned with the equilibrium conditions of particles and rigid bodies at the state of rest and subject to forces and moments. A structured problem-solving method is introduced to identify and solve problems using appropriate theory, tools, and methodologies. Topics to be discussed include unit systems, vector operations, equilibrium conditions, free-body diagrams, moments and couples, distributed loadings, support reactions, truss analysis, centroids, moments of inertia, products of inertia, shear and bending moment diagrams, and friction. Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week.
