3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite: ENGR 2548 This course is the study of the mechanics of deformable bodies. It deals with the analysis of the stresses and of the corresponding deformations in various structural members including axial, torisonal, pure bending, and transverse loading. The course includes a large number of example problems requiring both analytical and computer solutions. It also includes actual laboratory determination of stress-strain relationships, tensile testing, and special projects. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): none

3.00 Credits
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.

4.00 Credits
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

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite: ENGR 2569 This course is a second semester, sophomore level course in beginning electric circuits and systems. It covers the following topics: sinusoidal sources, phasors, impedance and admittance, sinusoidal steady-state analysis, average power, RMS values, apparent power, complex power, mutual inductance, transformers, complex frequency, Laplace transforms, circuit analysis in the s-domain, poles, zeros and diagrams, filters, and two-port networks. The student is given simulated laboratory experience through the use of computer- aided analysis. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): none

1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Credits: 1-3 Prerequisite: instructor's consent This course will examine selected topics of interest in Engineering. Offered on demand. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): none
-
3.00 - 10.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite: none Study of the relationship between humans and the natural environment, with special emphasis on philosophical, ideological, and conceptual concerns. Explores the difficult and controversial issues surrounding the underlying causes, long-term implications, and potential solutions of some of the most important environmental problems facing the world today. Topics include climate change, waste and pollution, natural resources and land use, species extinction, population growth, and sustainable development. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 5, 10
-
3.00 - 10.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite: none This introductory course is a survey of the principles of geology, thematically centered on the processes that shaped the continent of North America, with special emphasis on the National Parks and Monuments of the United States. It includes topics such as plate tectonics, mountain building, volcanoes, faults and faulting, erosion by water, wind, and ice, ice ages, glacial landscapes, fossilization, and geologic time. Students will apply newly acquired geologic skills to case studies of individual national parks. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 3, 10
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisite: none Is a survey of current day space observations and explorations at the conceptual level. The course is designed as an introduction to the study of astronomy and approaches the physics of planetary and stellar investigations from a perspective suitable for the motivated but non-mathematicallyoriented liberal arts student. In addition to presenting an introduction to the basics of observing the night sky, the course surveys the latest observations, discoveries and theories in the rapidly developing areas of comparative planetology, stellar evolutionary processes, black holes, quasars, and other non-thermal phenomena. Finally, the course summaries the latest cosmological theories about the fundament nature of the universe in light of the best information available from observational platforms such as the Hubble Space Telescope. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 3
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Prerequisite: none This course provides a systematic presentation of geologic material, topographic features, geologic structures, and the geologic processes that have produced the various geologic features. Each topic is introduced through the historical background emphasizing present knowledge and current problems. Likely topics include minerals, rock, earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain buildup, plate tectonics, glaciers, rivers, groundwater, oceans, and winds. Three hours lecture and two hours lab weekly. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 3

3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Prerequisite: none This is an introduction to the unique geologic history of Minnesota. The course is designed for the science and nonscience major yearning for insight into the varied and interesting geology of Minnesota. The course includes the geologic history, mineral resources, rocks, waters and local geology. Environmental concerns pertinent to Minnesota will also be considered. Field trips outside of scheduled class and lab time are required. Transfer Curriculum Goal(s): 3
