Student Learning Outcomes

Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the following outcome-based learning skills:

1. Calculate sums of forces, moments, and couples to maintain static equilibrium of many objects. 
2. Apply new methods of adding vectors and solving static problems. 
3. Integrate the knowledge of dry friction, centroids, and distributed loads to solve static engineering problems.
