    F and S. This course introduces several foundational engineering topics. Included are single and multi-component process material and energy balances (conservation laws) , the first and second laws of thermodynamics and heat transfer. Study of chemical kinetics and equilibrium demonstrates the link between science and design begun in Engineering 106 and also broadens the student's knowledge of chemistry. Issues of stewardship of materials and resources are addressed. Laboratory. Prerequisites: Engineering 106 and Mathematics 162 or permission of the instructor.
  • 4.00 Credits

    F. A study of computer organization (including memory hierarchy, I/O, bus-based systems, distributed systems, and parallel systems) , and computer architecture (including CPU control, pipelining, and instruction set architecture) Laboratory exercises emphasize principles. Prerequisites: A programming language course, normally Computer Science 104 or 108 or permission of the instructor. Prerequisite to all courses numbered 300 or higher is formal admission to a B.S.E. concentration.
  • 4.00 Credits

    S. A study of the laws and engineering applications of electric and magnetic fields in various conductive, dielectric, and magnetic materials and under various boundary conditions. Emphasis is on the analysis and design aspects of transmission line circuits. Prerequisites: Mathematics 231, Mathematics 232, and Physics 235.
  • 3.00 Credits

    F. This course continues the study of chemical engineering principles begun in Engineering 209. Included are material and energy balances with reaction and introduction to vapor-liquid and liquidliquid equilibrium including the concepts of dew and bubble points and the flash process. Process simulators (HYSYS) are introduced. Principles are reinforced with an in-depth team design project of a commercial process. Basic concepts of thermodynamics, i.e., equilibrium, reversibility, system are presented. The first and second laws are studied including the Carnot cycle and reversible process equipment as models of best performance. This material provides the foundation for the in-depth study of thermodynamics in Engineering 312. Prerequisites: Engineering 209, Mathematics 231, and concurrent registration in Chemistry 317.
