Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Understand the concepts of stress and strain and the stress-strain relationships for different materials.
Analyze the relationships between loads, member forces and deformations and material stresses and strains in structural members under axial loading, torsion, flexural loadings, shear, and thin-walled pressure vessels.
Create shear and bending moment diagrams for beams, and calculate their deflections.
