ENGR 220 - Mechanics of Materials

Number of Credits: 3
Mechanics of Materials studies the distortion of engineering materials in relation to changes in stress or temperature. The geometry of internal strain and external displacement will be studied. Applications will be presented and discussed which cover beams, columns, shafts, tanks and other structural machine and vehicle members. (Spring Term Only) Three hours lecture. Three Credits. Three billable hours.

Pre-requisite(s): PHYS 111, ENGR 102 and MATH 136, with minimum grades of C or better.
