Current catalog description:
ENGR 234 Statics (=PHYS 234) (3 credits) (Prereq: PHYS 211). This course deals with systems of forces acting on particles and rigid bodies at rest. The course addresses the finding of resultant forces and torques for various bodies. The covered topics include concentrated and distributed forces, equilibrium in two-and three-dimensions, moments, couples, and other key principals used in engineering design of structures that must remain static while bearing stress or performing a task. F.
Proposed catalog description, in the present tense, including prefix, number, title, (credits), (prerequisites), (co-requisites), course description, and semesters offered. Catalog description should be exactly as it is to appear in the catalog.:

What research has led to this request?
The program's accrediting body, ABET, revised and updated their student learning outcomes and curriculum requirements effective this academic year. As a new program going for initial accreditation in 2020, the revisions necessitated a significant redesign of the Engineering Science program's major requirements, pattern of course offerings, and required and elective courses. A significant program outcome is to prepare graduates for professional licensure. A gap analysis was performed against ABET’s new curricular requirements as well as the latest content of the relevant license exams and the creation of several new courses was warranted, with subsequent accommodating adjustments to existing courses. A new course, ENGR 244 - Engineering Mechanics II: Dynamics, which is a companion/follow-on course to ENGR 234, was created as part of that analysis. This proposal changes the title of ENGR 234 to be consistent with this new follow-on course. See attachments for details.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
None. Other than the title, the course is otherwise unchanged.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
This is only a title change.
