EGR
270: Continuum Mechanics I
Earmarked by the GE
Foundation as one of four engineering courses with newly
designed content and delivery, Continuum Mechanics uses learner-centered
approaches for teaching elements of engineering statics, dynamics,
and strength of materials.
This
is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed to
introduce students to fundamental theoretical principles and
analysis of mechanics of continuous media, including solids
and fluids. Concepts and topics covered in this course include
conservation laws, static and dynamic behavior of rigid bodies,
analysis of machines and frames, internal forces, centroids,
moment of inertia, vibrations, and an introduction to stress
and strain.
