Engineering
Prereq. for all EG courses is a major in electrical or mechanical engineering.
EG 103 Engineering Orientation (2) A brief survey of major engineering topics will give the student an overall understanding of the career of engineering. Fall sem.
EG 106 Engineering Graphics and Computer-Aided Drafting (2) This course gives the student an introduction to drafting and blueprint reading. The student learns orthographic projection and related drawing techniques through sketching and prepares final drawings by Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD). Lecture plus lab. Spring sem.
EG 201 Materials Science (3) Prereq.: CH 112. The student learns the basic mechanical, thermal, and other properties of engineering materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Fall sem.
EG 205 Statics (3) Prereq.: High school physics and satisfactory performance on physics placement exam or PY 100; and credit for or concurrent enrollment in MA 221. Students learn the use of vector mechanics and the free-body diagram in the solution of systems of forces in equilibrium including trusses, friction, center of gravity, and moment of inertia. Fall sem.
EG 206 Mechanics of Materials (3) Prereq.: EG 205 and credit for or concurrent enrollment in MA 222. In this course the student performs analysis of stress and strain, deformation, torsion, and loading in beams, connections, and columns. This course also includes a weekly lab of one hour. Spring sem.
EG 208 Dynamics (3) Prereq.: EG 205 and credit for or concurrent enrollment in MA 222. Students learn the application of vector mechanics to the solution of problems involving plane motion; force, mass, and acceleration; impulse and momentum; and work and energy. Spring sem.
EG 212 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design (1) Prereq.: EG 205 and credit for or concurrent enrollment in EG 206. This course will introduce the student to elements of engineering design. Students will solve design projects by creating objectives and criteria, synthesizing, analyzing, and evaluating the design of mechanical structures. Spring sem.
EG 241 Numerical Methods for Engineering (3) Prereq.: MA 401. This course is designed to enable the student to use computer software in solving engineering problems involving six areas of mathematics: roots of equations, systems of linear algebraic equations, curve fitting, numerical differentiation and integration, and ordinary differential equations. This course may be taken as a mathematics elective by mathematics major, minor, or teaching field. Fall sem.
EG 321 Electrical Circuits (4) Prereq.: MA 401 and PY 202. The student learns the relationships among current, voltage, and power in direct- and alternating-current circuits. 3 hours lecture plus lab. Fall sem.
EG 322 Electrical Systems (2) Prereq.: EG 321. Students learn the basic concepts of energy systems including AC power systems and rotating machines. 1 hour lecture plus lab. Spring sem.
EG 425 Engineering Economics and Professional Issues (3) Prereq.: Credit for or concurrent enrollment in BA 303. Students learn principles and techniques used to make rational decisions about the acquisition and retirement of capital goods by industry and government in recognition of the time value of money. A strong emphasis will be placed on solving engineering economics problems. Professional issues are covered including ethics, professional communication skills, and social aspects of engineering practice. Fall sem.
