Engineering Mechanics
Engineering Mechanics involves the study of the action of forces on bodies and the resultant motion and deformation. Built on physics and mathematics principles, engineering mechanics is the basis of mechanical sciences that underlies mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, civil engineering and biomechanics. The curriculum prepares students for engineering practice and electives allow specialization in areas such as structural mechanics, soil mechanics, material science, solid mechanics, biomechanics or dynamics and vibrations. The curriculum culminates with program electives and a two-term Senior Design sequence. Senior Design builds on the knowledge gained in coursework and emphasizes independent and/or team problem solving under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
