    (5)
    The fundamentals of Newtonian equilibrium mechanics using vector notation. Equilibrium of particles and rigid bodes, structural analysis, internal forces, friction, center of gravity and centroids, and moments of inertia. Prerequisite: MATH& 151 and PHYS& 241 (may be concurrent).
  
  • ENGR& 215 - Dynamics

    (5)
    Kinematics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies; moving reference frames; kinetics of particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies; equilibrium, energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, Euler equations, and special problems (e.g., central force motion, vibration). Prerequisite: ENGR& 214
  
  • ENGR& 224 - Thermodynamics

    (5)
    Introduction to the basic principles of thermodynamics, from a predominately macroscopic point of view. Development of the basic laws of thermodynamics, together with their illustration by application to energy transformations and state changes in engineering problems. Individual and group design projects. History of and contributions by various cultures to thermodynamics. Prerequisite: MATH& 152 and PHYS& 242 (may be taken concurrently).
  
  • ENGR& 225 - Mechanics of Materials

    (5)
    Introduction to the concepts of stress, deformation, and strain in solid materials. Development of basic relationships between loads on structural and machine elements such as rods, shafts, and beams, and the stresses, deflections, and load-carrying capacity of these elements under tension, compression, torsion, bending and shear forces, or combinations thereof. Individual and group design projects. History of and cultural contributions to the mechanics of materials. Prerequisite: ENGR& 214
