MMEG - Mechanical and Materials Engineering
Statics is the study of particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium, meaning they have no unbalanced forces or torques acting on them. This course covers force and moment vectors, distributed loads, centroids, moments of inertia, friction, virtual work, particle equilibrium, and rigid body equilibrium in two and three dimensions. These concepts are applied toward the analysis of trusses, frames, machines, and beams.

Dynamics is the study of an object or system in motion under the influence forces. This course covers kinematics of particles and rigid bodies in two and three dimensions; the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration; work and energy; impulse, and momentum.

This course covers the mechanics of deformable elastic and inelastic bodies with emphasis on analyzing stresses, strains, and deflection and deformation in machine and structural elements (axial, shear, torsion and bending loads). Combined loading, buckling, failure criteria, and design concepts will also be discussed.

Prerequisites
MMEG 21000
This course covers the scientific principles determining the structure of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, semiconductor and composite materials; electronic structure, atomic bonding, atomic structure, microstructure and macrostructure. The basic principles of structure-property relationships are covered in the context of chemical, mechanical, and physical properties of materials. This course includes several laboratory sessions.
