profession fundamentals and problem solving. Topics include description of engineering
disciplines, functions of the engineer, professionalism, ethics and registration,
problem solving and representation of technical information, estimation and approximations,
and analysis and design. f,s
183 Engineering Computer Graphics (3:2:3). Prerequisite:
ENGR 107 or permission of instructor. Fundamentals of engineering drawing,
graphic communication, descriptive geometry, multiview projection, and graphical
analysis. Computer-aided drafting, visualization, and pictorial views are introduced
as well as reading of engineering drawings.f,s
210 Statics and Dynamics (3:3:0). Prerequisites: PHYS
160 and MATH 114. General principles and fundamental concepts. Units of measurement.
Force vectors and their use, including vector operations. Equilibrium of a particle.
Resultants of a system of forces. Equilibrium of a rigid body. Dry friction. Center
of gravity and centroid. Moments of inertia, including the parallel axis theorem
and radius of gyration. Kinematics of a particle. Work and energy. f,s
307 Engineering Thermodynamics (3:3:0). Prerequisites:
MATH 213 and PHYS 260. Classical concepts of energy and temperature, first
and second laws and their application to closed and open thermodynamic systems.
Properties of pure substances, equation of state, and analysis of thermodynamic
processes and systems are covered. Presents application to engineering systems.
s
310 Mechanics of Materials (3:3:0). Prerequisite: PHYS
160 and ENGR 210. Concepts of stress, strain, elasticity, and plasticity.
Stress and strain analysis, including the use of Mohr's circle. Pure torsion.
Theory of pure bending and members under transverse loading, including normal
and shear stress analysis. Theory of elastic buckling. Distribution of internal
forces in statically determinate systems, including beams, frames, and arches.
f
400 Principles of Professional Practice in Engineering (3:3:0).
Prerequisite: Engineering majors within 30 hours of graduation. Overview
of all engineering disciplines focusing on engineering ethics and professionalism,
need for life-long learning, and professional licensure. Topic areas also include
engineering science and mechanics, material science, electric circuits, chemistry
and thermodynamics, engineering economics, and other fundamentals of engineering.
This course does not satisfy the requirements for a CEIE technical elective. s
ENG 490 Human Practice of Engineering Design (3:3:0). Prerequisites:
Senior standing (at least 90 credit hours) in an IT&E degree program; one
of SYST 301, ECE 331, or CS 421; and permission of the instructor. A study
of engineering design and innovation emphasizing the human aspects. Students will
be directly involved in a project with a client for whom they must produce a measurable
innovation supported by an engineering system. Students will prepare for the projects
through extensive readings and exercises, from which they will learn how to identify
and listen for human concerns, action, breakdowns, and coordination.
498 Independent Study in Engineering (1-3:3:0). Prerequisite:
60 credits; must be arranged with an instructor and approved by department chair
before registering. Directed self-study of special topics of current interest
in ENGR. May be repeated for a maximum of 6 credits if the topics are substantially
different.
499 Special Topics in Engineering (3:3:0). Prerequisites:
60 credits and permission of instructor; specific prerequisites vary with the
nature of the topic. Topics of special interest to undergraduates. May be
repeated for a maximum of 6 credits if the topics are substantially different.
