Prerequisites: Phys 111, Math 112. A course for industrial and mechanical engineering students in which the equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies subject to concentrated and distributed forces is studied.
Mech 320 - Statics
and Strength of Materials (3-0-3)
Prerequisites: Phys 111, Math 112. For chemical engineering and electrical engineering
majors. Statics provides an understanding of the equilibrium of particles and rigid
bodies, including simple machines, trusses, and frictional forces. Mechanics of materials
covers pressure vessels, thermal stresses, torsion of shafts, stresses and deflection in
beams, and column action.
Mech 320H**
- Honors Status and Strength of Materials (3-0-3)
Prerequisites: Phys 111, Math 112, and enrolled in the Honors College. For chemical
engineering, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering majors. Course material
similar to Mech 320 except in addition, the student will design and perform several
laboratory tests.
