IntroductionThe mechanics of materials course is one of the core courses for students in civil, mechanical,aerospace, metallurgical, ceramic, geotechnical, and architectural engineering programs. Thecourse is also included in architecture, engineering mechanics, engineering physics, engineeringmanagement, and engineering technology curricula. The course is typically taken during thesophomore or junior years after students complete their general mathematics and sciencepreparation. The mechanics of materials course introduces students to the principles involved indesigning typical components found in machines and structures such as drive shafts; floor beams,pressure tanks, and bolted connections. The course explores various

If you think back,it was because something or someone inspired us to notice that the activity was interesting,challenging, and fun. We didn’t pursue the profession thinking that it was going to be long hoursworking obscure problems on paper or computer. Goff chose to study aerospace engineeringprimarily as a result of he and his dad having such a great time building and flying modelairplanes when he was a child. He chose the profession because he saw that engineering was acreative endeavor. Understanding how things worked, modifying them, creating products thatwork - this is what he was
