The course is the first fundamental engineering course. Engineering mechanics
focuses on implementing vector algebra in analysis of static systems which requires
mathematical description of acting forces and moments. In this course only static or
under uniform motion rigid bodies is considered.
“Vector Mechanics for Engineers Statics and Dynamics” by F.P.Beer,
E.R.Johnston.Jr..and E.R.Eisenberg, 10th, published by McGraw Hill, 2012.
“Engineering Mechanics: Statics”. 13th Edition, by R.C. Hibbeler, published by
Pearson 2013.

Course outline
The classification of systems of forces and their resultants; geometrical and
analytical conditions for the equilibrium of force systems; frames and trusses;
friction; centers of gravity.
Course objectives
In this course concepts of vector algebra in 2D and 3D is applied to force and
moment to help students visualize analysis of static engineering problems.
Moreover, independent and analytical thinking skills of students is developed by
solving various types of engineering problems such as analysis of frames and
beams under loading.
• Drawing free-body diagrams for engineering problems,
• Calculating resultant of different system of forces,
• Calculating moment of a force,
• Formulate equilibrium equations of static rigid bodies under various system of
forces,
• Analysis of static beams, frames and trusses,
• Determination of centroid of an area,
• Calculating moments of inertia,
• Analysis of problems involving distributed loads,
• Determining internal forces of members.

Policy
• NO CELL PHONES are allowed during lecture and lab sessions.
PLEASE turn them off before lecture! (Not silent or vibrating mode).
This is a university policy and violators will be reprimanded accordingly.
• Participation and interaction in classes are more important than just
attendance.
• No late assignments will be accepted without prior arrangement with the
instructor for acceptable excuses. Medical and family emergency will be
considered on case-by-case basis.
• No late homework will be accepted. Homework is to be completed on an
individual basis. Students may discuss homework with classmates, but
students are responsible for your own work. If students have consulted
classmates, please note the individuals name on the top of students’
assignment.
• Quizzes may be given unannounced throughout the term and will count
as one homework. There will be no make-up quizzes.
• No make-up exams. If students miss an exam, a zero score will be
assigned to the missed exam.
• If students should miss class due to personal emergency or medical
reasons, please notify the instructor by email immediately. A doctor’s
note will be required for make-up work.
• Students are responsible for completing the reading assigned from the
textbook related to the covered topics and for checking email regularly
for important information and announcements related to the course.
• University policy on academic honesty concerning exams and individual
work will be strictly enforced.
• BE ON TIME!
