PRODUCTION AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING COURSES

EM 203 STATICS
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisite: MATH 113, PHYS 105 and CEE 101

Course Catalog:
This course introduces the analysis and solution of engineering design problems related to
particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium. Primary concepts include the concepts of force systems;
vector analysis, moments and couples in 2D and 3D; equilibrium of force systems; analysis of
structures; plan trusses and frames; distributed force system; centroids and composite bodies;
area moments of inertia; analysis of beams; and friction.

EM 204 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS
Credits: 3 (2,1,2) Prerequisites: EM 203
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.

Course Catalog:

This course introduces to students: the system and control volume concepts; properties of a pure
substance; work and heat; the first law of Thermodynamics as applied to a system and a control
volume, internal energy, enthalpy; the second law of Thermodynamics.; Carnot cycle, entropy,
reversible and irreversible processes; applications of steady-state steady-flow, uniform-state
