Engineering Mechanics I: Course Description
'Engineering Mechanics I' is a required class for all MIT students in the Bachelor of Science in Civil or Environmental Engineering degree programs. Professors Markus Buehler and Franz-Josef Ulm designed and taught the original 'Engineering Mechanics I' lecture course. Engineering mechanics is a crucial subject because it teaches future engineers how solid (non-liquid) structures and materials behave. For example, students learn the mathematical models that predict the strength of solid materials and how much stress these materials can withstand. 'Engineering Mechanics I' students also study the effect of Newton's laws on solid structures using the example of the World Trade Center collapse.
This OpenCourseWare includes lecture notes, lecture summaries, problem sets, a MATLAB tutorial and recitation problems that use MATLAB software. If you are interested in taking this free course, visit the mechanics of solids course page.
