Objectives of the Course -Teaching basics of stress.
-Teaching all types of stresses.
-Analyzing the structures for their internal stresses
-Analyzing the structures for their displacements
Course Content This course is crucial for both student and civil engineers for their future careers to be able to understand the behavior of elastic materials. During this course, the students will learn stress types and how to determine those stresses. In addition, they will learn how to determine some displacements on structures
Course Methods and Techniques Learners will be provided with as much opportunities of hands-on practice as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e. pair work and group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks, which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
