Introduces mechanics of vector forces and space, scalar mass and time, including S.I. and U.S. customary units. Teaches equilibrium, free-body diagrams, moments, couples, distributed forces, centroids, moments of inertia analysis of two-force and multi-force members and friction and internal forces. Lecture 3 hours per week.
(3 cr.) - Presents approach to kinematics of particles in linear and curvilinear motion. Includes kinematics of rigid bodies in plane motion. Teaches Newton's second law, work-energy and power, impulse and momentum, and problem solving using computers.
This shell serves as the collection place for assessment materials (rubric and student artifacts) related to the ABET accreditation of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MEET) program at Bluefield State College.
