This course covers fundamentals and applications of statics, including the analysis of coplanar and non-coplanar force systems using analytical and graphical methods.  Students will learn about systems of forces and couples; equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; distributed force systems; normal, shear and bending moment diagrams; centroids and moments of inertia; and the analysis of structures.  Upon successful course completion, students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of statics by applying the concepts to solve for forces induced in engineering structures by external loads in equilibrium.

This course introduces students to more advanced features, commands, and functions of 3-D parametric modeling. Students will learn about working environment customization, weldment assemblies, advanced patterns and family tables, advanced drawing functions, and advanced design tools. Upon successful course completion, students will be able to create and assemble complex parts and produce related drawings.

This course surveys and introduces common processes and design for manufacturing considerations. Student will learn about methods and equipment used to transform materials; the inter-dependency between geometry (form), materials properties, and processes; their effects on the functionality of the manufactured artifact; and the processing of polymers, metals, and ceramics. Upon successful course completion, students will be able to select materials and related manufacturing processes for engineering applications.

This course covers the basics of mechanical drives such as belts, chains, and gears. Students will be able to identify the roles of proper lubrication and alignment, bearings, and fastening techniques.
