and the point i was making was, "...let alone dynamics..." :P if you took similar classes, even if your "curriculum was predates contemporary website content," you know what a dynamics class covers...

Its far more germane than Statics, since one has to have some sort of dynamic element to induce transient loads. Otherwise, there are no cycles to be concerned with fatigue potential. So if not Dynamics, then what would it be? FYI, something called 'Structural Dynamics' is still Dynamics.

the difference is that a 200 level dynamics class is concerned with the dynamics of the system (what's the velocity of a given forces b and c, find the linear velocity given angular velocity, spring-mass-damper problems, etc). structural dynamics classes will vary widely, but typically goes into the effect of the dynamics on the material and structure (given vibration on structure x what is the displacement, will structural damage be caused by such and such dynamic load, etc). one is a lot more relevant than the other.

i'm just going to go ahead and say that pretty much NO 200 level course is going to cover fatigue to any useful extent (i say this as someone who's taken structures courses through the 500 level, and wouldn't claim to know a lot about the topic). :P

fwiw, the "relevant" courses i've taken on the topic are (using the course list you listed as a rough line for relevance), using the current course numbers for the schools i went to that are most analogous to the classes i took): eas 208, dynamics mae 315, analysis of structures mae 316, aerospace structures mae 381, engineering materials mae 385, engineering materials lab [there was a 400 level aerospace structures class that doesn't seem to exist anymore] aero 535, advanced aerospace structural analysis ...
