  6. Catalog Course Description

    This course provides a non-calculus analysis of applied strength of materials. Topics include: mechanical properties of materials; stress and strain analysis; loading in the design of shafts and beams; shear force and bending moment; axial, shear, deflection of beams; and buckling of columns.

  7. Required Course Content and Direction

    1. Learning Goals:

      1. Course
        2. Students will:
        1. evaluate the mechanical properties of materials;
        2. analyze and explain the theory behind, and the applications of stress and strain;
        3. examine axial, lateral, and torsional loading in the design and analysis of shafts and beams;
        4. apply the theory learned to the analysis of shear force and bending moment in beams, and to the deflection of beams; and
        5. evaluate and explain the buckling of columns.
