This course is an introduction to statics for particles and rigid bodies in two and three dimensions. Applications involving the analyses of simple trusses, frames, and machines are introduced. Dry friction is also introduced. A series of practical laboratories are designed to help the student apply the principles of statics to practical problems. Weekly hours: 1.5 Lecture hours and 1.5 Practicum/Lab hoursRestriction(s): Restricted to students in the College of Engineering. Prerequisite(s): GE 122.2 Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): MATH 134.3. Note: There will be costs in addition to tuition fees. Students with credit for GE 124 will not receive credit for this course.
