I. COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course deals with comprehensive approaches towards Structural Analysis of various engineering structures. In particular, Forces
carried by structural members are the main interest in order to predict the performance of these structures which is a pre-requisite in any
Structural design. Specifically, the subject is more on determinate structures which will be further expanded on part II of the subject matter. This
includes Force systems, computation of support reactions, derivation of internal forces, shear and moment diagrams as well as determinacy of
structures.

VIII. ACCOMODATION FOR DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION:

1. Students who incurred absences with valid reasons shall be given special activities corresponding to the ones they missed during their
absence.

IX. COURSE POLICIES:

1. All requirements should be turned in on the specified time in the class.  Do not turn in requirements at the instructor’s house.
2. Set cellphones in silent mode while the class is going on.
3. A student is expected to attend his/her classes promptly and regularly.  A student who incurs absences, whether excused or unexcused,
that exceed 20% of the number of class hours required for the course will be given a mark FA(Failure in Attendance).   A student who
