The course is designed primarily for those students who are majoring in pre-engineering, mathematics, or one of the natural sciences. This course will be offered during Spring semesters only. 5 hours credit Material covered in this course includes forces and force systems as applied to engineering problems, center of gravity, and moments of inertia. Kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies are studied as well as scaler and vector motion methods of solving problems. NASC 248 Statics 3 hours credit Material covered in this course includes forces and force systems as applied to engineering problems, equilibrium, moment of force, center of gravity, and moment of inertia.
Emphasis is on problem solving using vector notation.
