GE 310 - Intro to General Eng Design
Course Catalog Description:
Credit 3 hours. Fundamental concepts in the classical
and computer-based analysis and design of structural and
machine components and assemblies. External loads, internal
forces, and displacements in statically determinate and
indeterminate configurations: kinematics of linkages,
gears, and cams; static forces in machines.
Prerequisites:
CS 101, MATH 225, TAM 212, and TAM 221

Course
Objectives:
-
After
completing the course, the student will be able to:

Determine
if a structure is statically determinate or indeterminate
-
Analyze
and design trusses, beams and frames

Apply
the moment-area method and the principle of virtual
work for structural analysis
-
Analyze
statically indeterminate structures by the force method
and the stiffness method
-
Design
statically indeterminate structures
-
Compute
instant centers in mechanisms
-
Compute
velocities in mechanisms by instant centers and by the
method of relative velocities

accelerations in mechanisms by the method of relative
accelerations
