ENGR 111: Intro to Engineering

Credits 4
Introduction to the Practice of Engineering is a course that introduces students to how engineers solve problems and tothe creativity inherent in how engineers approach innovation, design and problem solving. Students will be introducedto general engineering content, the design process, and the ethical implications of creative engineering endeavors.

ENGR 224: Art Meets Engineering

Credits 4

This course invites students to investigate how form influences function and vice versa in both art and engineering.
Learn techniques such as hand-forging metal, 3D printing, and laser-cutting to develop innovative solutions to design
challenges. Course culminates in a public project.
 

ENGR 251: Socially Responsible Engineering

Credits 3

Socially Responsible Engineering will investigate the ethical challenges in engineering projects from both a technical and social perspective.  Through the use of case studies, ethical decisions made by engineers and other technical specialists will be investigated and discussion will be had around the impact on the communities where these projects are built.

ENGR 270: Engineering Mechanics

Credits 4

Engineering Mechanics provides the basic concepts and skills that will apply the laws of classical mechanics to
simplified, plausibly real world problems. This problem-focused class will analyze forces on structures, machines and
mechanisms with the intention of helping students predict behavior.

ENGR 290: Mass and Heat Transfer

Credits 4

This course will introduce students to the basic understanding of mass and heat transfer processes and their
application to engineering design problems. This course will utilize real-world problems involving conduction,
convection, mass transfer, heat exchangers, and radiation.

ENGR 305: Strength of Materials

Credits 4

This course will introduce students to the fundamental principles of the strength of materials and their application to engineering design. Topics will include stress, strain, torsion, bending, shear, and axial loading, with real-world applications in structural analysis, mechanical components, and failure criteria.

ENGR 350: Electronics & Instrumentation

Credits 4

This is a laboratory-oriented course dealing with analog and digital circuits. Circuit theory is developed for diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers and integrated circuits. These components are used to construct a range of devices, including power supplies, oscillators, amplifiers and logic circuits. Laboratory work will allow students to gain an operational understanding of these basic concepts. Skills debugging, circuit building, and reading circuit diagrams will be stressed. Lab.
