EM 204 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS

Credits: 3 (2,1,2) Prerequisites: EM 203, MATH 113
Course Catalog:
This course tackles the fundamentals of properties of structural materials; analysis of stress and
deformation in axially loaded members, circular shafts, and beams, and in statically
indeterminate systems containing these components. Specifically, the course will come across
the following topics: Definitions of stress and strain; Stress, strain, and deformation of axially
loaded bars and torsionally loaded shafts; Distributed loads; Statically indeterminate problems;
Stress & strain components and transformations and Mohr’s circle; Pressure vessels; Linear
elastic constitutive equations; Shear and moment diagrams; Bending and transverse shear
stress; Combined loading; Beam deflection; and Column buckling. Laboratory experiments are
associated with the lectures.

CEE 205 INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING DESIGN
Credits: 3 (2,2,0) Prerequisite: CEE 101
Course Catalog:
Introduction and practicing the engineering professional culture and profession. Enhancing on
personal skills such as teamwork, leadership, written and oral presentation. Problem solving
strategies. Problem definition and techniques for stimulation of ideas. Decision making in
creation, modelling and evaluation of alternatives for a certain design.

EM 208 FLUID MECHANICS
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: PHY 205
Course Catalog:
Basic principles of fluid mechanics. Topics include fluid properties, statics, forces on plane and
curve surfaces, kinematics of fluid motion, integral and differential representation of
conservation of mass, balance of linear and angular momentum, the first Law of
Thermodynamics, continuity equation, Bernoulli’s equation, energy principle, dimensional

analysis, and elementary viscous flow. Frictional losses, simple pipeline analysis and steady
channel flow are covered.
