Quiz
This course provides hands-on experience to solve various engineering mechanics problems using a free, yet powerful software package called MDSolids, which contains 12 modules for the analysis and design of beams and flexural members, torsional assemblies, axial assemblies, trusses, columns, pressure vessels, and members subjected to combined loadings. It can calculate section properties of standard and nonstandard shapes, and perform stress transformations using Mohr's circle. You will receive detailed instructions on how to install and operate MDSolids on your computer.
This course can help you develop problem-solving skills through an intuitive software interface that guides you to the important factors affecting various problem types, helps you visualize the nature of internal stresses and deformations, and provides an easy-to-use means of investigating a greater number of problems and variations. Once you master MDSolids, you will be able to solve over 90% of stress/strain related engineering problems encountered in your routine design work.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.
User's Guide to Timed & Monitored Online Courses:
For Timed & Monitored (T&M) online courses, you need to log into your account to view the course content. You must complete the required study time (min. 50 minutes for each PDH) before you can submit your quiz answers and obtain your certificate of completion. However, you may print out the quiz questions anytime after purchase.
You do not need to complete the T&M course in one sitting. You may view the course content from office or home using different devices with Internet connection. Our website will keep track of your total time spent. If necessary, you may print the course content for ease of reading while you are online. You may also preview the content of S300T by viewing the content of S300 since they are identical.
For T&M courses, You need to actively view course content online - at least click your mouse once in a while. The on-screen tracking clock may stop due to inactivity at your end. If that happens, you may resume your clock by pressing F5 key on your keyboard or by refreshing your screen. Thank you for your cooperation.
