ENGR& 214 Statics (5 credits)
Distribution Area Fulfilled General Transfer Elective
Formerly ENGR 210 - CCN
Prerequisite Concurrent enrollment in or completion of PHYS& 221 with a grade of at least 1.5
Course Description
An introduction to the principles of Statics. Students will apply vector and scalar analysis to two-dimensional and three-dimensional force systems, and learn to draw . Students will learn to draw free-body diagrams and apply equilibrium equations. The course covers moments, couples, analysis of trusses, frames, machines, distributed forces, center of mass, shear and bending moment diagrams, and friction applications.
Course Content

Distributed forces and geometric properties of bodies
Structural analysis of trusses, frames, and machines
Friction
Student Outcomes
- Express forces and moments using scalar and vector methods.
- Perform vector operations of force systems using graphical, trigonometric, and component methods.
- Reduce non-concurrent force systems using scalar and vector methods.
- Draw free-body diagrams and apply static equilibrium to analyze 2- and 3-dimensional systems.
- Determine internal forces and moments in structural members and represent them with equations and diagrams.
- Determine geometric properties of simple bodies in order to analyze distributed forces on structures such as cantilevers and beams.
- Work effectively with peers to solve statics-related engineering problems.
Degree Outcomes
