and technologies for people empowerment and sustainable development, engage in
viable resources generation program, maintain and enhance stronger partnerships II. Course Title : STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
under good governance to advance the interests of national and international
communities. III. Course Description :
Axial stress and strain; stresses for torsion and bending; combined
stresses; beam deflections; indeterminate beams and e;astic instability
GOAL OF THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, ARCHITECTURE &
TECHNOLOGY IV. Credit Units : 3 Units Lecture

The College aims to achieve the following goals: V. Number of Contact Hours per week: 3-hour lecture
1. Provide students with state of the art resources to enrich their educational VI. Prerequisite : Mech31 (Statics of Rigid Bodies)
experience.
2. To create and sustain an environment that enables leading-edge research. VII. General Objectives:
3. To help improve productivity.
4. To produce quality graduates who are competent in the practice of After completing this course, the student must be able to:
engineering, architectural works and information communication 1. Understand the concepts of stress and strain;
professionals; and 2. Calculate stresses due to bending, shears, and torsion under plain and
5. Provide manpower un agro-industrial and technology sectors of labor force. combined loading;
3. Analyze statically determinate and indeterminate structures; and
OBJECTIVES OF THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM 4. Determine the elastic stability of columns.

1. To provide the students with an education in the fundamentals of electrical

engineering that will allow him to be immediately competitive in the industry
or in graduate work, while providing him, the best opportunity for achieving
his full potential during his lifetime;
2. To develop sense of professional responsibility and social awareness;
3. To provide practical application and hands-on works as evidence by
laboratory design, project study, computer exercises and practicum
courses. These would help the student to work well whether independently
or part of group;
4. Instill in student the desire for and commitment to lifetime learning.

XI. Classroom Policies

1.) Uniform and dress code

a.) Students should be in proper uniform, wear school ID and appropriate shoes except during laboratory class.
b.) On Wednesdays Fridays, hip-hop dresses and get-ups are not allowed, e.g. shorts, slippers, earrings for males, spaghetti strap, etc.
c.) PE uniform should be worn only during PE class

2.) Attendance, tardiness and absenteeism

a.) Minimum of 80% attendance of the total contact hours in the subject is required (checking is done every meeting)
b.) Tardiness of 15 minutes is equivalent to one-hour period of absence.
c.) A minimum of 3 consecutive absences without justifiable reasons requires a promissory note from the college guidance coordinator
d.) 6 consecutive absences in the class means “drop” in the subject
e.) Failure to take the prelim exam preceded by absences means “drop” in the subject
f.) Failure to attend regular classes after taking the prelim exam means of grade of 5.0 in the subject.
