Course Title: Engineering Static
Course Code: ME 07151205
Credit: 3.0 Theory
Rationale:
This course will introduce the students to the tools to solve static equilibrium problems for rigid bodies. The
additional topics of resolving internal loads in rigid bodies and computing area moments of inertia are also included
as steppingstones for later courses.
Course Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
CO1: Apply the concept of equations of equilibrium to determine the unknown forces and moments of
mechanical systems.
CO2: Investigate forces acting on mechanical structures.
CO3: Analyze the centroids and moments of inertia for objects and evaluate the implications for
rotational motion.
CO4: Communicate engineering statics concepts and problem-solving methodologies effectively.
