Engineering

Engineering Design

ENGR112

This course introduces students to the engineering design process through two- and three- dimensional modeling, drawing, computer-aided design (CAD), and rapid prototyping. This course emphasizes a design-driven curriculum involving team-based investigations and solutions of reverse engineering problems using free-hand, CAD software, and manufacturing techniques.

4 credits
Prerequisite: MATH103 (C or better) or Math Placement Test score of 7 or higher
Corequisite: None

Statics

ENGR222

This course provides an overview of calculus-based engineering statics. Topics include: concurrent force systems; statics of particles; equivalent force/moment systems, distributed forces, and equilibrium of rigid bodies; trusses, frames, and machines; internal forces in structural members; friction; second moments of area, and moments of inertia.

3 credits
Prerequisite: MATH141 and PHYS121 (C or better)
Corequisite: MATH141

Dynamics

ENGR223

This course provides an overview of calculus-based engineering dynamics. Topics include: second moments, particle kinematics and dynamics, rigid body kinematics and dynamics, work-energy concepts, and vibrations.

3 credits
Prerequisite: ENGR222 (C or better)
Corequisite: None

Strength of Materials

ENGR224

This course introduces students to the basics of strength of materials. Topics include: loading; statically indeterminate structures; temperature and prestrain effects; shear force and bending moment; axial, shear, bearing and bending stresses; deflection of beams; and buckling of columns.

3 credits
Prerequisite: ENGR222 (C or better)
Corequisite: None

Circuit Analysis

ENGR240

This lecture and laboratory course introduces the students to basic circuit devices and circuit analysis. Topics include: circuit elements, techniques of circuit analysis, natural response, steady state analysis, and basic filter design.

4 credits
Prerequisite: PHYS122 (C or better) and MATH141
Corequisite: MATH141

Applied Engineering Statics

ENGT222

This course provides a non-calculus analysis of Newton’s first law from an applications standpoint as it pertains to particles and rigid bodies. It utilizes algebra and trigonometry for application to problems involving force systems, equilibrium, and structures.

3 credits
Prerequisite: PHYS106 (C or better), and MATH122 (C or better) or Math Placement Test score of 9 or higher
Corequisite: None

Applied Circuit Analysis

ENGT240

This lecture and laboratory course provides a non-calculus overview of applied circuit analysis. Topics include: circuit elements, techniques of circuit analysis, natural response, and steady state analysis.
