Introduces engineering as a profession, engineering curricula, and career paths. Explores the engineering design process, including ways of approaching and defining design problems; assessing stakeholder needs, ideation and concept generation; and prototyping and experimental design

Systematic approaches to engineering problem solving using computers, spreadsheets, logical analysis, flow charting, input/output design, introductory computer programming.

Introduces students to basic circuit elements and circuit analysis techniques. Covers Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s Laws, network theorems, node voltage analysis and mesh current analysis. Operational amplifiers, inductors, capacitors, RC and RL transient response are also covered. Circuit simulation, math analysis software, and laboratory experiments are incorporated to solidify classroom theory and practice.

Covers RLC circuits, transformers, AC power, and three-phase power. Explores steady state sinusoidal analysis and phasor techniques. Introduces the Laplace Transform. Also incorporated is circuit simulation, math analysis software, and laboratory experiments to solidify classroom theory and practice.

Covers transient circuit analysis-RL, RC, RLC. Introduces LaPlace Transform and its use in circuit analysis, the transfer function, Bode diagram and two port networks.

Analysis of forces induced in structures and machines by various types of loading. Introduction to finite element analysis software used for solving complex static problems.​ Use of graphing calculators and/or computer software will be expected of students.

Kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, and work-energy and impulse- momentum relationships applied to engineering systems.

Properties of structural materials; analysis of stress and deformation in axially loaded members, circular shafts, and beams and in statically indeterminate systems containing these components.

This course is an introduction to technical graphics as used for the communication of concepts in design and manufacturing, with practical applications using solid modeling software to capture design intent and to generate engineering drawings. SolidWorks is the computer software used for the course

Provides an introduction to digital logic and state machine design. Covers logic design, including logic gates, gate minimization methods and design with standard medium scale integration (MSI) logic circuits. Includes basic memory elements (flip-flops) and their use in simple-state machines.

A lab to accompany ENGR 271 Digital Logic Design. Illustrates the topics covered in ENGR 271 using computer-aided design, verification tools and photocopying hardware.
