Course Description

A first course in engineering mechanics: properties of forces, moments, couples and resultants; two- and three-dimensional force systems acting on engineering structures in equilibrium; analysis of trusses, and beams; distributed forces, shear and bending moment diagrams, center of gravity, centroids, friction, and area and mass moments of inertia. Optional additional topics include fluid statics, cables, Mohr's circle and virtual work. PREREQUISITE: MATH G185 and PHYS G185. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC. C-ID: ENGR 130.C-ID: ENGR 130.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Course Outcomes
2. Develop analysis methods to examine force systems acting on an engineering structure in static equilibrium.
3. Evaluate the constraining reactions needed to maintain static equilibrium on two-dimensional and three-dimensional rigid bodies acted on by the force systems.
4. Analyze the internal distribution of bending and shear forces acting on members of a beam or structure.

Course Objectives

• 1. Use a free body diagram to evaluate the reaction forces at the rigid body constraints, which are being used to maintain equilibrium.
• 2. Determine internal forces in individual members of trusses, frames, and machines.
• 3. Locate the centroid and center of gravity of regularly shaped lines, areas, and volumes.
• 4. Draw shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for beams.
• 5. Determine friction forces in simple shapes.
• 6. Evaluate area and mass moments of inertia.
• 7. Demonstrate a significant introduction to the formulation and solution of engineering problems.
• 8. Communicate effectively legible problem solutions to be understood by engineers in and out of their specific discipline.
• 9. Determine the forces that act on rigid bodies including external forces, weight, normal, distributed loads, friction and reactions at supports.
• 10. Calculate internal forces in members and create shear and bending moment diagrams for beams.
• 11. Analyze two-dimensional and three-dimensional force systems on rigid bodies in static equilibrium.
