Curriculum

One complete track with its own final exam and certificate.

Suggested 120-minute final. Test foundational concepts through mechanics foundations and particle equilibrium; analytical application through rigid-body statics and structures and materials response; design/case reasoning through particle kinematics and dynamics and energy; and integrative judgment through rotation and vibration and engineering mechanics design. Use the course-type exam weighting in the program guidance.
