1st Year, 2 SEMESTER
Type of course: B.Arch.
Prerequisite: Basic understanding of Physics and Mathematics
Rationale: Application of laws of mechanics to field problems is termed as engineering
mechanics. Here the students will learn the laws and principals of mechanics along with their
applications to a problem. As a matter of fact, knowledge of mechanics of solids is very essential
for a student in planning, designing and construction of various types of structures and machines,
so that the design is safe and economical.
