Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 hours lecture per week Prerequisite(s): A grade of "C" or higher in PHYS 170; credit or concurrent enrollment in MATH 231. CE 270 is the study of equilibrium of rigid bodies under the action of forces and the application of the principles of mechanics to solve static problems in engineering. Upon successful completion of CE 270, the student should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of forces, resultant and static equilibrium and their application to rigid bodies. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the equilibrium of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions. Demonstrate an understanding of and insights into the concepts of center of gravity, centroids, couples, and moments of inertia. Demonstrate knowledge in the analysis of engineering structures subjected to concentrated loads, distributed loads, and frictional forces. Utilize abstract thinking and analytical reasoning in the analysis of word problems. Utilize calculation techniques in the analysis of dynamics problems in engineering.
