Statics for Engineers

Subject Course No. Credit Value
Civil Engineering CE 1023 Four (4) credit hours

Engineering statics is the study of how forces are transferred through components of our built environment into their supports. Primarily relying on principals of equilibrium, students in this course learn how to compute reactions, how to find internal forces in trusses, beams, and frames and how to find important properties of shapes that are used in engineering design.

Instructor: Alan Lloyd
Prerequisites:

  • PHYS 1081 Foundations of Physics for Engineers (or equivalent physics course introducing forces from Newton’s laws of motion).
  • MATH 1003 Introduction to Calculus I (or equivalent math course introducing functions, curve sketching, extrema of functions and derivatives of polynomials).
  • MATH 1503 Introduction to Linear Algebra (or equivalent math course or content within other courses introducing working with simple systems of equations or permission from the instructor).

Co-requisites:

What you will learn

This course is designed to help you:

  • Understand how forces are transferred through components of our built environment into their supports.
  • Learn how to compute internal forces and moments within different components of structures.
  • Explore how to find key properties of shapes used for the design and analysis of engineered components in future courses.

Students have six months from the registration date to complete the course. All course exams and/or assignments must be completed by the designated end date.
