Undergraduate Level 100 Courses
Introduction to Engineering Through Applied Science I
Corequisite: MTH 113
1.5 hours lecture, 1.5 hours laboratory
Introduction to engineering and applied science with emphasis on engineering problem-solving skills through teamwork on projects on DC and AC circuits, electromagnetism, and computer measurement and control. The course applies calculus, develops written and oral communication skills, and uses CAS, Excel and MultiSim for analysis and simulation.
Introduction to Engineering Through Applied Science II
Corequisites: MTH 114, PHY 112
1.5 hours lecture, 1.5 hours laboratory
Introduction to engineering and applied science with emphasis on engineering problem-solving skills through teamwork on projects in engineering mechanics. The course applies calculus and physics, and develops written and oral communication skills aided with software.
Introduction to Design
0.5 hours lecture, 1.5 hours laboratory
Covers computer-graphic design material and develops graphic communication skills.
Freshman Summer Institute
Science of Engineering
Prerequisite: honors requirements (3.2 G.P.A. or by invitation)
2 hours lecture, 1 hour laboratory
The scientific principles underlying the practice of various engineering disciplines. This honors-level course is for non-science and non-engineering majors.
Undergraduate Level 200 Courses
Principles of Thermodynamics
Pre- or co-requisites: CHM 152, MTH 211
3 hours lecture
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.
Engineering Mechanics I: Statics
Prerequisites: PHY 111 or PHY 113, MTH 112 or MTH 114
3 hours lecture
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.
Engineering Mechanics II: Dynamics
Prerequisites: EGR 241, MTH 211 or MTH 213 Core requisite: MTH 212 or MNE 212
3 hours lecture
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.
Undergraduate Level 300 Courses
EGR 301 three credits
Applied Engineering Mathematics
Prerequisite: MTH 212 or MNE 212
3 hours lecture
Mathematical methods useful to all engineering students. They include: elements of linear algebra, matrices, eigenvalue problems, systems of ordinary differential equations, Fourier series, partial differential equations, probability theory, mathematical statistics, and a brief introduction to complex numbers.
