-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the analysis and design of feedback control systems. Application of Laplace transforms and block diagrams to the description of control systems. Stability analysis and performance evaluation. Supported by laboratory demonstrations. Prerequisite: ENGR 220. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to give the engineering student an introduction to the essentials of probability, statistics, and random processes. The engineering application of these concepts is reinforced by example. Topics include conditional probability, Bayes' theorem, continuous and discrete random variables and their distribution functions, point and interval estimation, hypothesis testing, ensemble and time averages, stationarity, and ergodicity. Prerequisite: MATH 133 or 142. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
A study of incompressible fluids at rest and in motion. Hydrostatics, buoyancy, and stability. Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions; the velocity field. Control-volume analysis and the conservation of mass, energy, and momentum. Inviscid flows; the Euler and Bernoulli equations. Viscous flows; the boundary layer, lift, and drag. Dimensional analysis and similarity. Laminar and turbulent flow in pipes, fittings and open channels. Application and computer techniques to the solution of problems. Prerequisites: ENGR 214 and MATH 241. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of mechanics: equilibrium; force-deformation relations; geometric compatibility; stress and strain. Introduction to the analysis of simple structural elements subjected to axial loads, shear, bending, and torsion. Combined stresses at a point. Euler buckling theory. Prerequisite: ENGR 213. Corequisite: MATH 133 or 142. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
Properties of pure substances. The ideal gas. The principle of corresponding states. First and second laws of thermodynamics. Enthalpy, entropy, and availability. Thermodynamic processes and the thermodynamic cycle. Equations of state and other thermodynamic relations for simple compressible substances. Introduction to power and refrigeration cycles. Prerequisites: CHEM 146 and PHYS 162. Corequisite: MATH 241. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
The interrelationship between the structure of materials in the solid state (atomic, molecular, crystalline, and aggregate structure) and their engineering properties. Theory of the behavior of materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, asphalt, concrete, wood, and composites. Introduction to corrosion. Processing techniques. Discussion of destructive and nondestructive testing, statistical quality control, joining, composite materials, polymers, and degradation. Prerequisites: ENGR 213 and CHEM 145. 3 semester hours
-
3.00 Credits
Independent research with a faculty member on a topic of mutual interest. Credit is granted only to students who function as unpaid undergraduate research assistants, working with a faculty member on research in the professor's area of expertise. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. Optional course. 1-3 semester hours
-
2.00 Credits
A capstone experience in which the student undertakes an engineering project incorporating standards and realistic constraints that include the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability; manufacturability; constructability; ethical; health and safety; social; and political. These projects involve creative conception, design, development, construction, and evaluation. Students work in small groups under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Progress reports are required in both semesters. A formal written report and an oral presentation are also required at the conclusion of the project. Prerequisite: Senior status. 2 semester hours each
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the economic environment of industry. Time value of money, cash flow analysis, rate of return, depreciation, taxes, and linear programming. Review of corporate economic practices to develop basic understanding of the economic evaluation of engineering alternatives and new engineering programs. Several cases of engineering decision-making situations are analyzed. Fall and spring terms. Prerequisite: Junior status. 3 semester hours
-
4.00 Credits
Offering special topics or follow-up courses to senior students when there is sufficient demand and faculty interest. 4 semester hours
