  • ENGR 2552: Introduction to Dynamics

    3.00 Credits
    Central Lakes College

    Credits: 3 Prerequisite: MATH 1470 and PHYS 1401, or instructor's approval This course is designed for students pursuing an AAS degree in Applied Engineering Technology. In this course, students apply methods to analyze the dynamics of rigid bodies under general force systems with an emphasis on practical applications in engineering. It deals with the study of kinematics and kinetics as applied to the analysis of simple engineering structures and machines. Kinematics is the study of motion of particles and extended rigid bodies without reference to the causes of the motion. Kinetics is the study of the relationship between motion and the forces that cause the motion. Specific topics include motions in 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensions, relative motion and momentum. The student should have a strong background in mathematics and be working at the college algebra level.connected bodies, and energy and momentum.

  • ENGR 2569: Circuit Analysis I

    4.00 Credits
    Central Lakes College

    Credits: 4 Prerequisite: PHYS 1412, MATH 2459 or concurrent enrollment This course is a sophomore-level course in beginning electric circuits and systems. It covers the application of Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Current and Voltage Laws to basic elements and networks containing dependent sources. Circuit analysis techniques covered include nodal analysis, mesh analysis, and loop analysis. Operational amplifiers are analyzed in circuits through the use of Thevenin's Theorem, Norton's Theorem, and the principle of superposition. The behavior of the inductor and capacitor are investigated as energy storage elements, and methods of solution for First- Order and Second-Order circuits are investigated. Finally, AC sinusoidal stead-state analysis techniques are covered, including phasors and the frequency domain. Circuit analysis methods used include both analytical and computerbased solution techniques. The student is given hands-on laboratory experience through the performance of a series of laboratories designed to supplement the analytical course materials. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): none
