Objectives of the Course Course Objective: The aim of this course is to provide students with the fundamental principles of engineering statics, including force, moment and equilibrium, and to develop their ability to construct free-body diagrams and analyze engineering systems in static equilibrium. The course also aims to enable students to apply statics principles to the structural components of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Course Content Course Content: Fundamental concepts of statics, force systems, vector representation of forces, force components, moments, equilibrium equations, free-body diagrams, support reactions, beams, internal forces, shear force, bending moment, and applications of statics principles in engineering and unmanned aerial vehicle systems.
Course Methods and Techniques Teaching Methods and Techniques
The course is conducted through lectures, question-and-answer sessions, problem-solving activities, case studies and engineering applications. Solved examples and UAV structural applications are used to improve students' analytical thinking and engineering problem-solving skills.
