So it would be OK to first take statics (which I just finished), strength of materials, and then dynamics?
Who did you have for Statics & MoM?Originally posted by: CokeJunkie
I don't know if my experience will help:
I've taken both Statics and Mechanics of Materials at Tulane's Engineering School. Mechanics of Materials applied much of the general theory and methodology of statics in order to calculate things like deflection, shear stress, axial stress, torsion, bending moments, etc. The materials class had a narrower focus, with statics as a prereq. Problems like: calculate the length of, and spacing between, steel rivets to attach a steel rail to wooden timber having such and such properties, etc.

Ah..just wondering if you had the same people as me. I was in BME from 97-99, had Anderson (former Dean of Engineering) for Statics & Dynamics (because stupid BME makes you take both in one course) and Villarraga for MoM. I gave up on BME in 00, though and ended up finishing up in CIS @ the UC.Originally posted by: CokeJunkie

Nauman for statics..
an indian guy whose name I never got straight for MoM. It's ridiculously hard to pronounce - I only remember it as an odd jumble of letters. Short, very mild mannered. Office in civ-E department.
I'm a CS grad myself.. those happened to be the only two non-EECS engineering courses I took.
