Course Objectives






Students completing this course successfully will be able to




    

  1. draw free body diagrams of truss, beam, and/or frame structures,

  2. use equilibrium equations to analyze 2-d and 3-d engineering problems,

  3. find moment at any point in a 2-d and/or 3-d structure,

  4. find the centroids of 1-d, 2-d, and 3-d objects,

  5. find reaction forces and/or moments at the support for 2-d and 3-d problems,

  6. find member forces of truss structures (using methods of joints, sections),

  7. draw shear, moment diagrams for beams, under various loading and different 
boundary conditions,
