Since this is a core subject for Eng, had to take it along with Engineering Materials (much easier). Because there are 3 heavily weighted exams (which without physics/mech background are very difficult) I found this course very hard. Do it asap if you think you'll have a hard time with statics content because I know many people who failed and had to repeat it later on. The workload during the sem is fine since the assessment mostly falls onto the exams.
