Comments:

Does not appear to include gears and transmission of power, thermal effects, euler buckling, stress concentrations. Might or might not include analysis of statically indeterminated structures. Student should check with me (or with another ISU instructor) when they return from study abroad, if they have questons about any of these topics.
