METC 220 - Statics & Strength of Materials


Credit Hours: 4
Billable Contact Hours: 6
Prerequisites: MATH 124  or MATH 151  or MATH 157  or MATH 164  or MATH 171  or MATH 172  or METC 160  or qualifying scores on accepted placement tests
Session Cycle: FW

This course presents fundamental techniques and processes used to determine the forces on members, the stresses developed in such members, and the relation of these stresses to potential failure of the member. The focus is on static planar systems of forces and the resulting stresses. Mathematical tools required for the modeling of components under load, computer based implementation, two dimensional force systems, trusses, and basic beam deflection are presented.
