This course is an introduction to the basics of statics and mechanics of materials for non-mechanical engineers. These fundamental mechanical engineering principles are required for advanced electronic packaging courses. Key concepts of equilibrium criteria; distributed forces; internal forces; stress and strain; yield and failure criteria; stress and strain in axial, torsional, and bending loads, will be discussed. Examples of thermal stress analysis are also discussed. The course requires students to have prior basic trainings in mathematics and physics.
