Engineering mechanics and strength of materials

Theoretical foundations and necessary practical knowledge of rigid and deformable body mechanics, as well as analysis of simple line girders.

Understanding the essential laws and methods of rigid and deformable body mechanics. Development of creativity and ability to independently formulate and solve engineering problems. Ability to recognize the mechanical behavior of solid deformable materials and structures.
