An interactive course to introduce students to the elements of engineering design. Learning objectives include a hands-on design experience, building teamwork and communication skills, understanding engineering methodology and engineering ethics The goal for the semester is an open-ended design problem that students must solve as part of a team effort. This provides the practice that students need to become more skilled in the process of technical design as it is practiced in the workplace. Intro to design aims to build students’ confidence in applying fundamental problem-solving concepts in order to solve complex, open-ended problems. Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 141 or higher; or instructor permission.

Introduces CAD software and relevant concepts, including orthographic projection, sections, engineering drawing, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and an introduction to manufacturing methods. Prerequisite: MATH 151 or instructor permission.

This course is designed to provide students with the application of machine speeds, machine feeds, materials, tooling, tapping, and boring, in the manufacturing processes. Prerequisite: Restricted to Mechanical Engineering majors. Co-requisite: ENGR 161. Or instructor permission.

Provides an overview of the structure, properties and processing of metallic, polymeric and ceramic materials. Specific topics include perfect and imperfect solids, phase equilibria, transformation kinetics, mechanical behavior and material degradation. Approach incorporates both materials science and materials engineering components. Prerequisites: CHEM 121 or CHEM 111 and CHEM 112; and PHYS 190 & PHYS 185 (all require minimum grade of C or higher). Or instructor permission.

An investigation of the kinematics and kinetics of particles and ridged bodies as well as modes of vibration and time response. Topics covered include coordinate systems, work-energy relations, momentum, relative motion, and vibration. Prerequisite: PHYS 250; or instructor permission.

An introduction to the profession of mechanical engineering. Specific topics addressed through the semester include career opportunities in mechanical engineering, internship search skills, resume writing skills, expectations for professional behavior in the classroom and in industry, and current events/ethics topics relevant to the field. The class format may include additional evening/weekend activities. Prerequisite: ENGR 131 or instructor permission

Examines the fundamentals of fluid flow with application to engineering problems. Topics covered include fluid statics and kinematics, Bernoulli equations, laminar and turbulent viscous boundary layers, laminar and turbulent pipe flow, and conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy. Prerequisites: MATH 251 and PHYS 250; or instructor permission.

Covers shear force and bending moment, torsion, stresses in beams, deflection of beams, matrix analysis of frame structures, analysis of stress and strain in 2-D and 3-D (field equations, transformations), energy methods, stress concentrations and columns. Prerequisites: MATH 252 and PHYS 250 (all require minimum grade of C or higher). Or instructor permission.
