COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Study of stress and strain transformations, analysis of beam deflection and rotation, indeterminate beams, and column buckling. Prerequisite: ENGR 252A

TEXT:

You will not be purchasing a textbook for this course since all of the material used for the course is provided by Class4me.com.  The Class4me online material is placed on Canvas for your convenience but this material is copyrighted and you must pay a $69 access fee for its use.  You will have 1 weeks to pay this fee through the PayPal link on Canvas.  If you do not pay it by that time you will no longer have access to it.  In addition to the online material, Class4me is also providing a hardbound textbook for you to use.  The hardbound book can be picked up at Cuesta reserve desk. https://cuesta.instructure.com/.

 Optional: MECHANICS OF MATERIALS, 4th Edition, by Beer and Johnston (You can pick up your copy of this hard bound book for the semester at the Reserve Desk in the library.)  Please return at the end of the term.

GRADES: Final (45%) 90-100 A (-)
HW Assignments (12%) (Lowest 2 will be dropped) 80-89 B (+/-)
Quizzes (40%) (Lowest 2 hw will be dropped) 70-79 C (+)
Miscellaneous (3%) 60-69 D (+/-)
+/- grades break at 3 and 7 (ex. 83 and 87) <60 F

TUTORS: Tutors may be available for free through Tutorial Services located in building 3300.

PROCTORING: This class will be using zoom for exams. 

TEST AND HW FORMAT:  Each problem must:

  • Be neat, clear, and organized, use a ruler for drawing lines.
  • Draw free-body diagrams (if applicable) and label all variables. (-20% if missing)
  • state the equations used
  • have the answer written in the answer box with units
  • all pages must contain at the top:  NAME,  PAGE#/#
  • always use pencil and never write on the back
  • all lines must be drawn with a straight edge
  • print using uppercase letters
  • use 3 or 4 significant figures at each step in the calc (be consistent)
  • don't crowd work (one problem per page)
  • Use superscript format for units.  Example: 100lb not 100lb

TESTS/ QUIZZES:   NO make-ups or taking exams early will be permitted.  All are closed book, notes, and only basic trigonometric calculators may be used.  Students are not allowed to discuss their quizzes with any other students until after the quiz has closed.  Students must present a photo ID.

DROPPING: Students who are not completing the assignments/Quizzes may be dropped from the class even though you are doing well on the tests.

TEST SCHEDULE (subject to change)

TEST CHAPTER DATE TIME (Pacific Time)
