Introduction to computer software applications involving spreadsheets and procedural programming in order to solve a variety of engineering-related problems.

This course provides a fundamental knowledge of computer operations and programming languages. Numerical computations in solving engineering problems will be emphasized. Students will use microcontroller for the class project.

Fundamental concepts of mechanics, including resultants of force systems, free-body diagrams, equilibrium of rigid bodies, and analysis of structures.

Kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies; mass and acceleration, work and energy, impulse and momentum; coordinate transformation and differential equation formulation of 3d motion; flywheel and balancing of rotating machines (previously; kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies; mass and acceleration, work and energy, impulse and momentum).

Concepts of stress, strain, strength, deflection of axial force members, shafts in torsion, beams in flexure, combined stress, stability of columns, and design of simple elements.

Engineering applications of numerical methods using computer-aided analysis, including complex variables, curve fitting, matrix operations, Fourier series, and numerical integration.

Axioms of probability, combinatorial, and geometrical probability, probability distributions, measures of location and dispersion, sampling and sampling distributions, estimations and tests of hypotheses, engineering applications.
