Applied Mechanics (CE 401)
First Year First Part (Year:I, Part:I)
Lecture: 3
Tutorial: 2
Practical: 0

Course Objective:

This course has been designed to provide the basic concept and knowledge of engineering mechanics to the students of all branches of engineering so that it would be helpful for them to understand structural engineering stress analysis principles in later courses or to use basics of mechanics in their branch of engineering.
