ME 201 Engineering Statics

An introduction to rigid body mechanics using vector representation.  The course covers free body diagrams, and static equilibrium in two and three-dimensional space.  Problems in trusses, frames and simple mechanisms are solved.  Methods in problem solving techniques using computer-based approaches are developed.  Lab experiments are performed by the students to support the theory in the lecture hall.  The students prepare professional level reports.  (Prerequisites:  PS 15, EG 31, MA 126).
