CHEM 1172: General Chemistry II

This is a course in fundamental chemical principles. Topics include intermolecular forces, phase

changes, the properties of solutions kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry and buffers, solubility

equilibria, atmospheric chemistry, entropy and free energy, electrochemistry, the chemistry of metals

and nonmetals, coordination complexes, and nuclear chemistry. Students enrolled in distance versions of

this course will be required to come to campus for an orientation meeting and completion of certain

exams and laboratories. This is the second of a two-semester sequence designed for students entering a

scientific field.

ENGR 2040: Statics and Strengths of Materials

This course will introduce fundamental concepts of vector mechanics of particles and rigid bodies at

rest, fundamental concepts of reactions of external supports of bodies in equilibrium, common

engineering structures such as trusses, frames, and machines, geometric and inertial properties of solid

bodies, stress distributions under various loadings including pure shear, axial, torsion, and bending

loadings.

MECH 1130: Statics

This course deals with the principles of trusses, frames, machines and machine components. The course

will offer the student experience in dealing with coplanar load systems that are concurrent, parallel and

nonparallel. It is recommended, but not required, that PHYS 1200 be taken before this course.

MECH 2270: Engineering Statistics

This course provides a broad overview of statistics and statistical process control practices in the

industrial environment. This course includes presentation of the philosophy and practices of modern

quality control principles, data presentation techniques, basic statistics, basic probability, control chart

applications, process capability measures, and inference and hypothesis testing.
