3.00 Credits
An introduction to the mechanics of deformable solids. Topics covered include stress, strain, rotation-of-axes transformations, constitutive relations, equilibrium, compatibility requirements, stability, and deformation of structural elements. Uni-axial, torsion, bending, and shear loads on and deformations of prismatic bars are also studied together with Euler buckling of slender columns. Three credits of lecture.

An introductory survey of the behavior of electrical circuits. Review of current, voltage, and passive circuit elements (resistors, capacitors, and inductors). Kirchhoff's Laws, network theorems, and basic network analysis. General characteristics of amplifiers and electronic instrumentation. Introduction to operational amplifiers and active elements (transistors). Laplace transform analysis of transient (switching) response, and complex phasor analysis of sinusoidal steady-state response. Three (3) hours lecture and one 2-hour laboratory per week, in which students build and test circuits and learn how to use typical circuit simulation software (PSPICE).

3.00 Credits
A practical introduction to thermodynamics for engineering students. Fundamental state variables are defined (e.g., temperature, pressure, energy, enthalpy, entropy, etc.), and the three laws of thermodynamics are extensively discussed and illustrated. Applications include power systems, gas turbines, and refrigerators. Three hours lecture per week. Prerequisites: Grades of "C" or better in PHYS 205-206 and MA233. Spring semester.
-
3.50 Credits
An introduction to geotechnical engineering. Topics covered include an introduction to geology and the classifications of soils, and rocks, and geologic structures. Soil exploration, testing, and classifications are introduced, and soil characteristics and mechanical properties such as compressibility and compaction, permeability and seepage, and stresses in soil structures are also studied. Three credits of lecture and half credit of lab. Prerequisites: Grades of "C" or better in ENGR 303 and ENGR 307.Spring semester.
-
3.00 Credits
This is the first in a series of 3 courses in structural analysis and design. The primary objective of this course is to introduce the principles and methods of analysis for trusses, beams, and frames so that students develop the understanding and the skills necessary to analyze and design statically determinate as well as statically indeterminate structures. While emphasis is on modern computer methods of analysis, elementary methods are also studied so students gain an understanding and "feel"for the behavior of structures. Prerequisites: Grade of "C" or better inENGR 303. Spring Semester.

3.00 Credits
This course focuses primarily on the basic principles of the hydrologic cycle such as precipitation, hydrologic abstractions, catchment properties, groundwater flow, and the relationships between precipitation, abstractions, and runoff. A brief portion of the course deals with the measurement of various components of the hydrologic cycle. The engineering applications of basic hydrologic principles are studied. The purpose of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of hydrologic science, which are used to solve typical engineering problems. Prerequisites: Grades of "C" or better in MA 131 or MA 121-122 and MA232, or permission of instructor. Fall semester.
