COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Objectives

Statics form the foundation of many engineering disciplines and are, therefore, essential to the training  of an engineer. Mastery of this subject requires a clear understanding of the principles, for example, vector and scalar, force and moment, free-body diagram, equilibrium analysis etc.  and experience in applying the principles to wide range of situations using each chapter example and exercise problems. Because the application require reasoning rather than memorization.
