Engineering (EGN)

EGN-102. Introduction to Engineering. (2 Credits)

This course exposes students to various engineering careers and introduces engineering techniques, methods and history. The course covers interrelationships within and among engineering, technology and science to allow the students to differentiate between various career choices. Fee is required. (3 contact hours)

EGN-150. Introduction to Design. (3 Credits)

An introduction to the principles and practices of engineering graphics and conceptual design. Topics include sketching, multiview orthographic projection, sections, auxiliary views, dimensioning, pictorials and working drawings. It incorporates the use of 2D CAD and 3D modeling in the solution, presentation and communication of realistic design projects. Functional analysis of existing products, designing with standard components and additive manufacturing are also covered. Fee is required. (5 contact hours)

EGN-201. Engineering Statics. (3 Credits)

Analyze one-, two- and three-dimensional force systems in equilibrium. Includes use of vector calculus. Applications include trusses and frames. Includes discussion of friction, centroids and virtual work. (3 contact hours)

EGN-202. Engineering Dynamics. (3 Credits)

Kinematics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies using the calculus of vectors are studied. Nonrectangular coordinates and Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, and momentum are applied to a variety of problems. Introduces Lagrange's equations and the Hamiltonian Principle. (3 contact hours)

EGN-205. Circuits Analysis. (4 Credits)

This course introduces analysis of electric circuits, electrical components, and networks. Topics include concepts of electricity and magnetism, circuit variables (units, voltage, inductance, power and energy), circuit elements (R, L, C and operational amplifiers), simple resistive circuits, circuit analysis (node-voltage, mesh-current, equivalents, and superposition), transient analysis, and sinusoidal steady state (analysis and power). Introduces standard electrical instruments and measurement techniques. Covers circuit response, elementary filter response and resonance measurements. Includes basic measurements of transistors and operational amplifiers. Fee is required. (6 contact hours)

EGN-227. Strength of Materials. (3 Credits)

Analysis of stress, strain, and deflection in machine and structural elements (axial, shear, torsion and bending loads). Stress and strain transformation using Mohr's Circle. Combined loading, repeated loading, theories of failure, related mechanical properties, and column buckling. Design of shafts, beams and columns. Elementary stress measurement devices. (3 contact hours)

EGN-252. Thermodynamics. (3 Credits)

Analysis of thermodynamic processes and systems. Engineering implications of the properties of ideal and real gases and vapors in thermal systems. Zeroth, first, and second laws of thermodynamics, power and refrigeration systems, entropy, and vapor power systems are included. (3 contact hours)
