| Engineering Courses EGR 101. INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING 1 sh This course provides general information on engineering disciplines, common engineering practices, the engineering profession and history, engineering education, engineering design, engineering ethics and engineering opportunities from the instructor and/or invited speakers. Preliminary work on a design project will be undertaken by student teams. Offered fall. EGR 102. INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING GRAPHICS AND DESIGN 2 sh This course introduces the student to graphics as used by engineers. Both hand sketching and computer graphics will develop the student’s ability to communicate graphically. This course also investigates the engineering design process. Students will work in teams to acquire a client and design a solution to meet the needs enumerated by this client. This design project is a continuation of design work done in EGR 101. Each aspect of the design process will be discussed. Several exercises will attempt to develop the student’s creativity, clarity and focus of thought. The semester will end with a full presentation of each team’s design work which will incorporate their newly acquired graphics ability. Offered spring. EGR 206. ENGINEERING MECHANICS - STATICS 3 sh This course is designed to introduce students to the effects of forces on bodies in static equilibrium and to familiarize them with mathematical techniques for finding reactive forces in bodies, frames, mechanics and trusses. Concepts covered include forces, moments, couples, equilibrium of rigid bodies, centroids, moments of inertia and friction resistance. Prerequisite: PHY 113. Corequisite: MTH 221. Offered fall. EGR 208. ENGINEERING MECHANICS - DYNAMICS 3 sh Kinematics and kinetics of particles in rectangular, cylindrical and curvilinear coordinate systems; energy and momentum methods for particles; kinetics of systems of particles; kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions; and motion relative to rotating coordinate systems are studied. Prerequisites: EGR 206 and MTH 221. Corequisite: MTH 321. Offered spring. EGR 211. CIRCUIT ANALYSIS 3 sh This course is an introduction to the theory, analysis and design of electric circuits. Studies include circuit parameters and elements: voltage, current, power, energy, resistance, capacitance, inductance. Also included is the application of Kirchhoff’s laws, techniques of circuit analysis, the op-amp, the responses of RL, RC and RLC circuits, an introduction to sinusoidal steady-state analysis, Laplace transforms and Fourier series. Prerequisites: MTH 421 and PHY 114. Corequisite: EGR/PHY 212. Offered spring. EGR 212. CIRCUIT ANALYSIS LAB 1 sh This course involves laboratory application of concepts and principles discussed in EGR 211. Corequisite: EGR/PHY 211. Offered spring. EGR 310. ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS 4 sh This course introduces the concept of energy and the laws governing the transfers and transformations of energy. Study emphasizes thermodynamic properties and First and Second Law analysis of systems and control volumes. Integration of these concepts into the analysis of basic power cycles is introduced. Prerequisites: MTH 421 and PHY 114. Offered fall. EGR 381. INTERNSHIP IN ENGINEERING 1-4 sh The internship provides advanced work experiences in some aspect of engineering. It is offered on an individual basis, under the guidance of the engineering program director, when suitable opportunities can be arranged. It will typically be taken in the summer of the sophomore year. This experience will broaden the practical work experience of the student and enhance his/her classroom abilities. Prerequisite: permission of the department. Offered summer. |
