No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1992–93 to 1994–95 (before that, 1982–83 to 1991–92 used the number for Engineering Concepts 2); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Physics principles most relevant to the discipline of Mechanical Engineering. Equilibrium and elasticity of solid bodies. Hooke’s Law and bulk modulus. Statics and dynamics of fluids. Temperature scales and thermal expansion. Energy conversion and transfer and the laws of thermodynamics.
As printed in the 1992–93 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Engineering Concepts 2, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
A continuation of GEN E 163 with applications of graphics, measurement and other analytic principles applied to introductory problems in the various disciplines of Mechanical engineering; an introduction to engineering design methods as applied to Mechanical Engineering and including specification development, information-gathering, concept formulation, feasibility analysis and report writing.
Prereq: GEN E 163
