A single semester comprehensive course in thermodynamics for non-Mechanical Engineering majors. The fundamentals of classical thermodynamics are presented. The first and second laws are formulated and applied to basic engineering systems. Properties of pure substances, their calculation and measurement are explored. Formulae and concepts for evaluating efficiency are derived. The combined first and second laws are used to develop the concepts of useful work, availability and energy. Engineering applications are discussed and studied as time allows.

The first course in engineering mechanics, with two major objectives: first, to introduce the student to the science of engineering mechanics and second to introduce the student to the art of applying science to the solution of engineering problems. The specific vehicle or curriculum to accomplish these objectives will be a study of the statics of rigid bodies.

A continuation of the study of mechanics initiated in EGR 241. Work and energy methods are emphasized. Motion in accelerating coordinate systems and dynamics of system particles lead to the discussion of rigid body dynamics in three dimensions. A number of examples of rigid body motion are discussed. Free and forced vibrations of one degree of freedom, and free vibrations of multi-degree of freedom systems, are studied. The principle of virtual work is introduced and used to briefly discuss stability of equilibrium.
