   |  ENG 230RC - Mechanics of Materials Recitation   1 Credits, 1 Contact Hours1 lecture period 0 lab periods
 
 Taken concurrently with ENG 230  in order to provide supplemental instruction. Facilitated discussions, discrete study groups, and collaborative problem solving provide more exposure to and more thorough discourse on engineering concepts and theory. Emphasizes applying mathematics, science, and engineering concepts to solve mechanics of materials problems; while providing opportunity to apply problem solving techniques and critical thinking. Introduction to the analysis and design of the mechanical properties of materials. Includes the concept of stress and strain, axially loaded members, torsion, stresses and strains in beams, analysis of stress and strain, deflections of beams, statically indeterminate beams, and columns.
 
 Prerequisite(s): ENG 210
 Corequisite(s): ENG 230
