Engineering statics is the study of how forces are transferred through components of our built environment into their supports. Primarily relying on principals of equilibrium, students in this course learn how to compute reactions, how to find internal forces in trusses, beams, and frames, and how to find important properties of shapes that are used in engineering design.
