This course can be found in the following programs of study:
|
2008-2009 | I : Catalog Course Description |
|---|
| Studies static force systems. Topics include resolution and composition of forces, equilibrium of force systems, friction and various constraints, moments of inertia, cables, beams, fluid static, and work. |
| II : Course Objectives |
|---|
Studies static force systems. Topics include resolution and composition of forces, equilibrium of force systems, friction and various constraints, moments of inertia, beams, fluid static, and work
- This course is designed to introduce basic principles in mechanics.
- It is aimed to help students to analyze any given problem using a simplistic and logical approach and to solve it by applying a few and well-understood principles.
|
| III : Course Linkage |
|---|
| Linkage of course to educational program mission and at least one educational program outcome. |
ME 241 fills a degree requirement for the Associate of Science with Engineering emphasis, for which the mission is to prepare students for successful transfer into civil, chemical, computer, electrical, geological, mechanical, metallurgical, or mining engineering, or computer science, or engineering physics. ME 241 addresses the specific program student learning outcome:
