Appears to lack discussion of pressure vessels, but that's ok. Although it is not mentioned explicitly, it is likely that principal stress calculations is included because failure theories listed require determination of principal stresses. V&M diagrams not included but if student has had EM274 that should be sufficient. Discussion of fatigue is excellent! No discussion of shear flow, but that's ok.
