PHY 522 - Engineering Mechanics

Study of statics of rigid bodies with applications to structural and load analysis. Topics include: equilibrium of extended bodies, centroids, friction, and the analysis of trusses, frames, beams, towers and cables with a focus on engineering applications to renewable energy systems. Not open to students with credit for PHY 422. Prerequisites: PHY 201 and MAT 122 or MAT 237. (3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code C = offered at least once every two years

Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Recall and apply the core principles of engineering mechanics, with particular focus on statics.
  2. Recall and apply the mathematical methods of solution in applied mechanics.
  3. Apply the developed understanding in an experimental project to determine the major differences between theory and the effects of the real world.
