ENGR 102 Engineering Design and Laboratory
I
2-4-4
Engineering 102 provides for the development
of analytical and communication skills by problem solving, teamwork
and project presentation. The course gives instruction on how
to use computers in engineering: how to utilize engineering software,
problem solving, data acquisition and analysis. Included is how
to use a computer algebra system to solve math and engineering
problems. Students learn the elements of the engineering design
process through execution of actual design projects. Other topics
include an introduction to patents and patent law and the interaction
between the engineer and physical environment. Prerequisite: MATH
162 or a higher-level math course.
ENGR 202 Engineering Design and Laboratory
II
2-4-4
This course is a continuation of Engineering
Design and Laboratory I. It provides for the development of analytical
and communication skills by problem solving, teamwork and project
presentation. The course gives instruction on how to use computers
in engineering: how to utilize engineering software, problem solving,
data acquisition and analysis. In addition, students learn technical
sketching and computer-aided drafting techniques with industry-standard
software. Students learn the elements of the engineering design
process through execution of actual design projects. Prerequisite:
ENGR 102.
(Note: 2-4-4 means 2 lecture hours per week, 4 lab hours per week and 4 credit hours, respectively. See the College Catalog for more information.)
ENGR 205 Materials Engineering 3-2-4
In this course students will be taught to recognize and differentiate between the several types of engineering solids, understand solids at the atomic level in terms of bonding and energy, establish a quantitative picture of the structure of crystalline and non-crystalline solids, explain atomic movements in solids using the concept of diffusion, explain the electrical and magnetic properties of different kinds of materials, and understand the processes that give rise to degradation of materials. They will also learn to interpret the optical behavior of materials in terms of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the material, and choose materials optimally for engineering design purposes.
(Note: 3-2-4 means 3 lecture hours
per week, 2 lab hours per week and 4 credit hours, respectively.
