Statics is the branch of engineering mechanics used to analyze forces on physical systems in static equilibrium. Hence, Statics will help you interpret the forces supporting objects you encounter in your daily life, like the forces in chair legs or building walls. Beyond equilibrium, this course will also cover topics including forces using vector notation, friction, centroids, and moments of inertia.
We look forward to helping you learn and pass CIVE 260 Statics with high-quality instruction, extensive resources, growth-oriented assignments, and ample help outside of class.MATH 159 (One Year Calculus IB (GT-MA1)) or MATH 160 (Calculus for Physical Scientists I (GT-MA1)); PH 141 (Physics for Scientists and Engineers I GT-SC1)
This course requires students to set up a proctor for paper-based exams.
