Courses
100. Professional Assessment
and Evaluation. 1 credit. Prerequisites: Work
experience and/or
technician school training plus completion of
Chemistry I, Physics I and II, and Calculus I,
II, and III. (See ChE, CE, EE and ME curricula
listings.) Required S-U grading. This course
is designed for students with industrial experience.
Students complete a portfolio documenting educational
and work experiences for evaluation, and individualized
curriculum plans are developed. Various academic
programs in engineering are also introduced.
Based on the assessment and evaluation, some
engineering requirements may be waived.
101. Graphical Communication. 3 credits.
Development of visualization, technical communication,
and documentation skills. 3-D geometric modeling
as applied to CADD applications using current
methods and techniques commonly found in industry.
Introduction to engineering, design and team
problem solving. F,S
200. Computer Applications in Engineering. 2 credits. The fundamentals of digital computer
programming are presented with special emphasis
on a high-level language and engineering applications.
The fundamentals of PC-based software applications
and operating systems are also presented. F,S
201. Statics. 3 credits. Prerequisite: Math
165. Vector approach to principles of statics.
Concepts of free body diagrams. Applications
to simple trusses, frames, and machines. Distributed
loads. Shear and moment diagrams. Properties
of areas, second moments. Laws of friction. F,S
202. Dynamics. 3 credits. Prerequisite: Engr
201. Simple particle and rigid body kinematics/kinetics.
Vector approach to principles of dynamics. Newton’s
laws of motion, work-energy, and impulse-momentum
principles for particle and rigid body motion.
F,S
