DELIVERY MODE

This online course is delivered via CCSF Canvas instructional system. It is designed for students who are organized, do their work methodically, and take responsibility for their remote learning activities. They will invest the time they save from commuting and attending on campus classes to study on their own in a timely manner.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

A first course in engineering mechanics: properties of forces, moments, couples and resultants; two- and three-dimensional force systems acting on engineering structures in equilibrium; analysis of trusses, and beams; distributed forces, shear and bending moment diagrams, center of gravity, centroids, friction, and area and mass moments of inertia.

A standard transferable sophomore level engineering course.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Formulate solutions to engineering Statics problems and to effectively communicate legible problem solutions.
• Determine the forces that act on rigid bodies, including external forces, weight, distributed loads, friction, and reactions at supports.
• Calculate internal forces in members and create shear and bending moment diagrams for beams.
• Perform vector analysis methods addressing forces acting on rigid bodies, trusses, frames, and machines.
• Analyze two- and three-dimensional force systems on rigid bodies in static equilibrium.

Important Dates - Required On Campus Midterm and Final Exams

This online class officially begins On January XX, 2020 and will end after 17 weeks. There is a required Midterm Exam on campus at the conclusion of week 9 in March or October. Also, the final exam is held on at the conclusion of week 17 in May or December. Both exams will be held on Saturdays dates of wehich are included in the course syllabus. The exams will be held in the Science Building, room 56 in the basement. The exams will be administered between 10 AM and 12 noon. Picture IDs will be checked at these exams.
