Engineering Mechanics

Engineering students examine fundamental principles of engineering mechanics and classical thermodynamics, focusing on the equilibrium, motion, and energy transformations of physical systems. The course emphasizes the application of free-body diagrams and systematic problem-solving techniques to analyze and solve practical engineering problems involving particles, rigid bodies, and thermodynamic processes. Students are encouraged to complete MATH 1271 or 1273 before, or concurrently, with PHYS 1219.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C+" grade in PHYS 1115; or a minimum "C" grade in PHYS 1125; and a minimum "C-" grade in one of the following: MATH 1153, 1171, 1173, or 1253. MATH 1153, 1171, or 1253 may be taken concurrently with PHYS 1219.
