Introduction

Welcome to ENGR220 -- Engineering Statics

Before we dive into the course and the text, please be sure to read the syllabus and know where a copy is stored -- in multiple places as it turns out!

Then, it is necessary for you to perform several tasks before the 10th day of the semester. WARNING: if you do not complete these tasks, you will be considered to have NOT attended class and will be Administratively Withdrawn. Once withdrawn, you will no longer have access to the class and will have a a TON of 'hoop jumping' to do if you want to be readmitted to the class - all of which will require you making a plea to the Registrar and the Dean.

The tasks you need to complete are:

introduce yourself in the discussion session for "Introductions". As you do so, tell us a bit about yourself, and what you hope to master in ENGR220.
take the introduction quiz.

These activities will help you become familiar with the course and the mechanics of our CMS (course management system - Canvas.) and the Pearson MyEngineering portal. We want to focus on the course content, not the course delivery.

In addition to the course content housed here, I have also found videos from other educators that covers this material. Since I do not believe in reinventing the wheel, I will link to those course's videos to help you with the content. If I believe that I can/should add my voice to the fray, I will link to one of my videos on my YouTube Channel (yes, I have one of those -- I am not a creaking fossil).

I may include links to these courses in later modules if they have a one-to-one correspondence to the material being covered. If not, you can always come back here and click on one of these links to access the courses and search the right hand lists to find content related to the topic about which you want more information. (So, maybe bookmarking the courses you like the most would be helpful?!)

After you have completed the above items, please continue to Vectors in our text and the content offered in the Vectors session.....
