Course Overview

Strength Of Materials is a core course designed primarily for students studying mechanical sciences. Different components and structures are designed and engineered using different materials. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the characteristic behaviour of all these materials.

The objective of the Strength Of Materials programme is to acquaint candidates with the concept of resultant load, its consequences, and how specific materials withstand different kinds of loadings. In 12 short weeks, candidates will learn about stress, strain, and the relationship between the two. It also covers uniaxial loading, bending of beams, the stability of columns, deflection of beams, combined stresses, torsion, and spring.

Furthermore, the instructor for the Strength Of Materials online course is Prof Sriman Kumar Bhattacharyya. He is a senior faculty member at IIT Kharagpur and formerly headed the Civil Engineering department. Also, the course is ideal for Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Applied Mechanics students. The manufacturing and construction sectors and structural design organisations will recognise this certification.

Swayam provides the Strength Of Materials programme free of any charges. You can simply join the course by registering for it on the website. However, in order to obtain the course certificate, you need to pay a minimal fee of Rs. 1,000 to take the certification examination.

Eligibility Criteria

The candidates must have the knowledge of basic engineering applications as a prerequisite for the Strength Of Materials certification programme.

To become eligible for the course certificate, candidates must submit 12 assignments during the course period. Also, they will have to write an exam at the end. It is mandatory to score 30/75 in the exam. And, the average assignment score must be 25 per cent of the average score secured in the eight best assignments. If they fail to fulfil the conditions, the candidate will be ineligible for certification.

The Syllabus

Evaluation process

Candidates can enrol for the Strength Of Materials online programme and learn for free. But to get certified, they will have to pay the examination fee, go to any of the designated exam centres and write the 100-mark proctored exam. Their exam score will be calculated as 75 per cent of the marks secured in this exam.

Further, the exam score should be 30 out of 75 or more, and the combined score (assignments and exam) should be 40/100 or more. The e-certificate will be awarded, only if the candidate satisfies the minimum passing conditions.
