Course Objectives:
The objective of this course is to prepare students for all subsequent
mechanics, structures and machine design courses that are offered in the
School of Engineering. In this course, students learn vector manipulations
and the ability to draw appropriate free body diagrams.
After completion of this course students should be able to form and solve
equations for one, two and three-dimensional equilibrium of particles and
rigid bodies. Students should be able to determine internal and external
forces (and moments).
