EGR 103. CHALLENGES IN
ENGINEERING 3 sh
This two-semester course focuses on a team design
project that is initiated in the fall. In the process of
completing the project, this course explores engineering
disciplines, practices, graphics, history, education,
design processes, ethics and opportunities. This
completed team project is presented in the spring.
Students must take both semesters. Offered fall and
spring. Prerequisites: none.
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 in a three-semester sequence with
EGR 306 and EGR 310 beginning spring
2008.
EGR 212. CIRCUIT ANALYSIS LAB 1
sh
This course involves laboratory application of concepts
and principles discussed in EGR 211. Corequisite: EGR/PHY
211.
EGR 306. MECHANICS OF SOLIDS 4 sh
This course focuses on elementary analysis of
deformable solids subjected to force systems. Concepts
covered include stress and strain (one, two and
three-dimensional stress-strain relationships for the
linear elastic solid); statically determinate and
indeterminate axial force, torsion and bending members;
stress transformations; pressure vessels; and combined
loadings. There is also an introduction to column
buckling. Prerequisite: EGR 206 and MTH 321. Offered in a
three-semester sequence with EGR 211 and
EGR 310.
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 in a three-semester sequence
with EGR 211 and EGR 306.
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.
