'''COE 2001''' is a 2 credit class in statics offered by the College of Engineering. COE 2001 is an important class for many engineering majors, including [[Mechanical Engineering|mechanical engineering]], [[Aerospace Engineering|aerospace engineering]], and [[Civil Engineering|civil engineering]].
'''COE 2001''' covers the mechanics of systems at rest, including forces and moments, equilibrium, structures, distributed forces, and friction. The course is foundational for many engineering majors.

The course features a topic per week on average, with the first day of lecture being instructor-led problems while the second day of lecture being group/individual problems. 1-3 short videos are required to watch before the first lecture to introduce the content for the week.
 
 
Homework and quizzes occur on alternating weeks, with quizzes being open notes. The final exam may be exempted with a 97 or higher average in the rest of the course.

=== Physics I ===
[[PHYS 2211]] or its equivalents is an important prerequisite for COE 2001. Statics can be seen as an extension of introductory mechanics, focusing specifically on systems in equilibrium. For example, while equilibrium is introduced in PHYS 2211, COE 2001 will discuss more complex systems in equilibrium, such as 3D systems and structures.

For example, while forces and moments are introduced in PHYS 2211, COE 2001 will go in greater depth about these concepts by discussing couples and working with 3D systems.

While [[MATH 1552]] is listed as a prerequisite for COE 2001, COE 2001 is not a heavily [[calculus]]-based course. However, integrals are used towards the end of the course when dealing with distributed loads.

=== Linear Algebra ===
 
While [[Linear Algebra|linear algebra]] is ''not'' a prerequisite for COE 2001, an understanding of linear systems can provide greater insight into statics. For example, row reduction and augmented matrices can be used to solve complex equilibrium problems
