Engineering 12 (statics) is the first course in engineering and covers bodies in equilibrium. This course has been designed to fulfill the needs of students whose main goals are to develop an insight into engineering technology, architecture and other related fields. The main objective is to give the students the ability to analyze any simple structure, and to breakdown a more complex structure into simpler ones using the concept of Free Body Diagram. Statics is a basic engineering course, and is considered one of the more important ones, since it is the foundation of many other engineering courses such as; dynamics, strength of materials, engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, structural analysis, etc.
Student Learning Outcomes for Engineering 12:
- A student will be able to analyze a simple structure using the concept of Free Body Diagram.
- A student will be able to analyze a complex structure using the concept of Free Body Diagram.
