This course focuses on drawing skills using computers. Techniques learned will include orthographic projections of points, lines, planes, and surfaces. Emphasis will be on two dimensional drawings, with an introduction to three dimensional concepts. Students will construct a portfolio of drawings. Statics 3 s.h.
Vector algebra is used extensively in equilibrium analysis of structures and machines.
Dynamics 3 s.h. A study of rigid-body mechanics that deals with bodies having accelerated motion. It includes kinematics and kinetics. The study will include the concepts of work and energy, impulse and momentum, planar and spatial kinetics, and kinematics. An introduction to Newtonian and relativistic mechanics, heat, and thermodynamics.
