Catalog Descriptions

INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING: This course is an introduction to careers in engineering and engineering technology. An introduction to engineering ethics, personal computer operating systems, spreadsheets, networking, problem solving, and graphics.
ENGINEERING GRAPHICS: The elements of graphic communication and engineering design, including free hand sketching, lettering, orthographic projection, auxiliary views, pictorial views, sections, dimensioning, descriptive geometry. An introduction to design using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools including, file management, creating cad files, user interface, coordinate geometry vectors, simple geometric objects, geometric constructions, surface modeling, basic concepts of 3 dimensional geometry.

ENGINEERING STATICS: The study of forces and moments on structures, frames, and machine parts. The equilibrium of force systems in two and three dimensions, centroids, moments of inertia, and friction are studied.

DYNAMICS: The study of the kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Including the dynamics of particles, work and kinetic energy, impulse and momentum, rigid body motions, moving coordinate systems and relative motion, basic mechanical vibrations.

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS: The study of the mechanics of deformable bodies in compression, tension, bending, and torsion. Including axial stress and strain, thermal stress and strain, statically indeterminant systems, torsional stress and strain, power transmission in shafts, bending stresses in beams, beam deflections, combined stresses, elastic buckling in columns, and introductory finite element analysis.

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS LAB: A concurrent lab that demonstrates the basic principles of strength of materials through the use of computer simulations, experiments, and industrial experiences.

FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING I: An introduction to the basic concepts of DC and AC circuit theory and analysis. Topics include voltage, power, energy, circuit elements, Kirchoff's laws, series and parallel combinations of elements, node and mesh analysis, Thevenin's theorem , Norton's theorem, first and second order circuits, forcing functions, RLC circuits, sinusoidal and steady state analysis, power analysis, two-port networks, Laplace transformations, SPICE, etc..

FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING LAB: Laboratory exercises to reinforce concepts presented in lecture and provide the opportunity for the student to become familiar with the use of basic instrumentation in electrical engineering.
