ENGINEERING
16 Week Session January 19 - May 16
ENGR 1201 Introduction to Engineering
Introduction to engineering as a discipline and profession. Includes instruction in the application of mathematical and scientific principles to the solution of practical problems. A broad range of problems will be considered in order to introduce the student to various engineering majors and careers. Prerequisite: One full year of high school physics or equivalent and mathematics through trigonometry.
ENGR 2301 Vector Mechanics -- Statics
Calculus-based study of the composition and resolution of forces. Vector algebra, force systems, freebody diagrams; equilibrium of rigid bodies and structures; centroids, distributed loads, friction; moment of inertia. Prerequisite: PHYS 2425 or equivalent. Corequisites: MATH 2415 (or previous credit).
ENGR 2302 Vector Mechanics -- Dynamics
Calculus-based study of the dynamics of rigid bodies. Includes force-mass-acceleration methods, work and energy, and impulse-momentum computations. Emphasis on two- and three-dimensional kinematics and dynamics, applied to a broad class of engineering problems. Offered in Spring. Prerequisite: ENGR 2301 or equivalent and MATH 2415 or equivalent.
