• Calculate moment of inertia, beam deflection, and moments or torques.
• Create a flowchart, pseudocode, and computer program to implement an algorithm.
• Describe the advantages of hydraulic and pneumatic systems relative to each other.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret information relevant to the problem or opportunity at hand to support engineering decisions.
• Apply systems thinking to consider how an engineering problem and its solution fit into broader systems.
• Analyze and solve for the external and internal forces on a truss.
• Identify engineering disciplines and engineering expertise that are critical to the solution of a specific problem.
• Communicate effectively with an audience based on audience characteristics.
• Facilitate an effective team environment to promote successful goal attainment.
• Explain and justify an engineering design process.
• Select a solution path from many options to successfully address a problem or opportunity.
• Measure forces and distances and calculate mechanical advantage, work, power, and efficiency in mechanical systems.
• Calculate distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration from data.
