Basic background on fundamental sciences and statics
Objectivesof theCourse: The objective of this course is elaborate on the knowledge of engineering mechanics (statics) and to teach the students the purpose of studying strength of materials with respect to civil engineering design and analysis. The course introduces the students to the concepts of engineering mechanics of materials and the behavior of the materials and structures under applied loads.
Learning Outcomes Whenthiscourse hasbeencompletedthe studentshould be ableto Apply the knowledge of fundamental sciences mainly mathematics and physics to 1 identify, formulate and solve civil engineering problems including stress, strain and deflection calculations as well as calculating axial force, shear and bending moment diagrams used in civil engineering analysis and design.
