USC Vision

The University of San Carlos sees:

A WORLD where the darkness of sin and the night of unbelief vanish before the light of the Word
and the Spirit of grace.
A SOCIETY where citizens are competent, noble in character, and community-oriented:
What they know, they apply justly and honestly.
What they do not know, they seek to learn.
What they do not have, they endeavor to acquire.
What they have, they share.
USC Mission
The University of San Carlos is a Catholic institution of learning that embodies the principles of
academic discipline of San Carlos Borromeo and the missionary charisma of the Society of the
Divine Word.
We aim to develop competent and socially responsible professionals and lifelong learners in an
environment that fosters excellence in the academic core processes of teaching-learning, research
and community extension service.
Our mission is to provide timely, relevant and transformative academic programs responsive to the
needs of the local, national, and global communities, in a rapidly changing world.

Schedule: ________________ Consultation
Time:
Course Description: The course is part of mechanics that deals on internal stresses and their relationship
to strains within the elastic range of the materials. The course is to be taken after passing the Statics part
of Engineering Mechanics. The course requires the knowledge of Calculus and Physics. The course will
enable the students to solve problems that involved the quantification of internal stresses and deformation
due to the external forces supported by the members.
Course Outcome: At the end of the course the students can compute the magnitudes of stresses and
deformations resulting from the forces applied to the member.

UNIT OUTCOMES (UO)

By the end of the semester, students should be able to: Alignment to Program Outcomes
CO1: Identify the types of stresses developed The learning outcomes in this course are enabling to the
internally achievement of:
[POa] Understand at least one specialized field of civil
CO2: Calculate the values of stresses in a member or at
engineering practice
the connections of two or more members
CO3: Calculate the deformation or strain resulting from
the external loads.
CO4: Apply the knowledge of deformations to solve
statically indeterminate members.
CO5: Calculate the shear and moment in Beams
CO6: Calculate stresses in beams
CO7: Solve combined stresses problems

ASSESSMENT OF OUTCOMES
As evidence of having achieved the outcomes, students must produce quality outputs and/or carry out tasks
successfully.
Formative Summative (Rubric-Based)
For UO1, UO2, UO3 and UO4, the formative assessments Midterm and Final Examinations
are the assignments.
