Prerequisites:
Pre or co-requisite: MATH 173. Prerequisite: ETSC 311 and admission to either the construction management or physics major, or ETSC 311 with a C+ or higher and admission to mechanical engineering technology major.

Credits: (4)

Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Demonstrate an ability to obtain design parameters using internal forces and moment analysis.
Demonstrate an ability to obtain design parameters using normal and shear stress/strain for all types of loading.
Demonstrate an ability to obtain design parameters using stress-strain and Poisson’s ratio analysis.
Calculate a shear and moment diagram for a variety of loaded beams using multiple methods (including integration).
