ENGR 10100: Engineering Design I
An introduction to engineering practice through hands-on investigations,
computer applications, design projects and student presentations
in the fields of structures
and robotics. In the first segment of the course, the behavior of
materials and structural members is explored. Concepts of structural
safety and equilibrium are developed and students are introduced
to structural analysis of a steel truss bridge and building a model
bridge. The second portion of the course focuses on basic mechanisms,
kinematics, feedback, and computer control by considering the operation
of several robotic devices. Students then engage in a robotic design
which may include software or hardware or both. All investigations
and design projects are performed in groups and presented in oral
and/or written form. Computers are used for documentation, data
analysis and robot control. Pre- or coreq.: Math 19500 (min. C grade).
Open only to transfer students who have not completed Math 20200
(or 20202). 3 HR./WK.; 1 CR.
ENGR 10200: Engineering Design II
This course uses the same approach as Engineering Design I and provides
elementary analysis design experiences in the areas of thermodynamics
and electronics. Students explore the concepts of energy and information
through experiments with modern engineering test equipment. Based
on these concepts, they are then encouraged to create and evaluate
their own designs in a group setting. Computer skills and analytical
tools are introduced as needed. Course requirements include oral
and written presentations of original engineering design. Project
topics include digital logic circuits, analog information processing,
calorimetry and distillation. Pre- or coreq.: Math 19500 (min. C
grade). Open only to transfer students who have not completed Math
20200 (or 20202). 3 HR./WK.; 2 CR.. Prereq.: Math 20100 (or 20102)
(min. C grade), Engr 10100. 3 HR./WK.; 2 CR.
ENGR 10300: Computer-Aided Analysis Tools for Engineers
An introduction to computer aided analysis techniques necessary
for the study of electrical engineering and the design of electrical
systems. Concepts introduced through short lectures are examined
thoroughly during computer workstation-based workshops. Among the
topics studied are: functions of real variables and their graphs,
complex numbers and phasors, linear algebra, difference equations
with applications to signal processing, and an introduction to system
analysis. Prereq.: Math 20100 (or 20102) (min. C grade), Engr 10100.
3 HR./WK.; 2 CR.
ENGR 20400: Electrical Circuits
Basic circuit laws. Methods of circuit analysis. Circuit theorems.
Operational amplifiers. Capacitatiors and inductors. Sinusoids and
phasors. Sinusoidal steady state analysis. Frequency response. Prereq.:
Phys 20700 (min. C grade); pre- or coreq.: Math 20300 (min. C grade).
3 HR./WK.; 3 CR.
ENGR 23000: Thermodynamics
Introductory concepts and definitions. Zeroth Law and absolute temperature.
Work and Heat. First Law and applications. Second Law, Carnot theorem,
entropy, thermodynamic state variables and functions and reversibility.
Power and refrigeration cycles. Prereq.: Chem 10300 (or 10301) (min.
C grade). Pre- or coreq.: Phys 20800 (min. C grade), Math 20300
(min. C grade). 3 HR./WK.; 3 CR.
ENGR 27600: Engineering Economics
History of economic thought from the engineering point of view of
modeling and control: Adam Smith to Keynes to Krugman and Thurow.
Nature of the corporation. Balance sheet analysis. Time value of
money: simple and compounded interest, annuities and loans, cash
flow, profitability analysis and DCF rate of return. Cost estimation,
cost benefit analysis. Risk analysis: forecasting, cash flow, simple
probability theory, decision trees. Prereq.: Math 20102 (20100).
(min. C grade). 3 HR./WK.; 3 CR.
ENGR 30000: Social, Economic and Cultural
Impact of Biomedical Technology This course emphasizes community
health care concerns in an urban environment. It has two central
themes: (a) assessment of
biomedical technology in the context of urban health needs, and
(b) social and cultural impact of biomedical technology. Prereq.:
Soc 10500 or Anth 10100 or Eco
10000 or Phil 34903. 3 HR./WK.; 3 CR.
ENGR 30100: Introduction to Satellite Remote
Sensing and Imaging This introductory remote sensing course covers
different environments where remote sensing can be applied, including
discussion about a variety of space platforms and selected sensors
that orbit the Earth. Emphasis is placed on the application of remote
sensing on the interactions between the hydrosphere, biosphere,
geosphere and atmosphere as well as bioproductivity and geophysical/geochemical
processes in the oceans. 3HR./WK.; 3 CR.
