ENGR 121

Engineering Orientation (2 CR)

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to describe careers in engineering and use fundamental concepts in engineering problem solving. Topics include engineering disciplines, aptitude and academic requirements, professional responsibilities, problem definition and solution, engineering design, and terminology. Students will meet professional engineers during field trips to engineering companies and work sites. The primary intent of this course is to introduce students to the engineering problem-solving process and to help each student make the best career decision. 2 hrs. lecture/wk.

ENGR 131

Engineering Graphics I (4 CR)

Corequisite: MATH 133 or MATH 171 or MATH 172 or MATH 173 or MATH 241

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to apply graphic principles used in the engineering design process. The student will master graphics concepts using computer-aided drafting (CAD) software. Topics include 2-D and 3-D CAD commands; geometric construction; multi-view, orthographic projection; sectional views; isometrics; dimensioning; and descriptive geometry. 3 hrs. lecture, 4 hrs. lab/wk.

ENGR 171

Programming for Engineering and Science (3 CR)

Prerequisite: MATH 171

At the completion of this course, the student should be able to design algorithms for the solution of engineering and science problems using pseudocoding and flowcharting techniques; code the solution in the FORTRAN programming language; and compile, test and debug the program. Programming concepts covered will include data input from the keyboard and data files, formatted output, sequence, selection and iteration structures, function and subroutine subprograms and array processing. Proficiency with conversions and math in the decimal, binary and hexadecimal numbering systems will also be attained. This is a beginning course that will prepare students for more advanced studies in engineering and science computer applications. 2 hrs. lecture, 2 hrs. lab/wk.

ENGR 180

Engineering Land Surveying I (3 CR)

Corequisite: MATH 134 or MATH 172

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to identify the basic applications of plane surveying procedures; measurement of horizontal distances, directions, angles, leveling, traversing, curves and stadia coordinates; computations with the aid of a computer; and topographical property and construction surveying. Students will take part in field operations using equipment such as auto levels, theodolites, EDM and total station. 2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.

ENGR 251

Statics (3 CR)

Prerequisite: MATH 242 Corequisite: PHYS 220

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to describe and predict the conditions of rest and motion of bodies under the action of forces. The principles used will include vectors, force systems, equilibrium, free body diagram, centroids, moments of inertia, trusses, frame, and shear and moment diagrams. This course is typically offered in the summer and fall semesters. 3 hrs. lecture/wk.

ENGR 254

Dynamics (3 CR)

Prerequisite: ENGR 251

Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to apply the principles of dynamics, the branch of engineering mechanics that studies objects in motion. Topics covered will include unbalanced force systems (Newton's second law), displacement, velocity and acceleration, work and energy, and impulse and momentum. Computer applications will be included. This course is typically offered in the spring semester. 3 hrs. lecture/wk.
