Engineering Courses for Geology/Engineering Group Major
(see catalogue for full list of ENGR courses)

 

  Course Information for ENGR 101:

Title: Introduction to Engineering Design and Graphical C
Professor: Staff.
Hours: 4
Description: F. An introduction to the design process by means of lectures, computer work, and projects. Readings are assigned in design related areas of creative thinking and modeling. Readings, lectures, and discussions also examine the areas of technology in society, engineering ethics, engineering liability, and human factors in design. The student is introduced to computer software tools for engineering design. This includes CAD and spreadsheet software. The drawing laboratory introduces graphical techniques for spatial analysis. This includes orthographic projection, free-hand sketching, pictorial representation, sections, basic dimensioning and tolerancing.

Course Information for ENGR 202:

Title: Statics and Dynamics
Professor: Staff.
Hours: 4
Description: S. A study of fundamental principles of mechanics and their application to the problems of engineering. Vector algebra, forces, moments, couples, friction, virtual work, kinematics of a particle, kinematics of a rigid body, dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, impulse, momentum, work and energy are presented in two and three dimensions. Prerequisites: Physics 126, 186, and concurrent registration in Mathematics 261.

Course Information for ENGR 205:

Title: Principles of Materials Science
Professor: Staff.
Hours: 3
Description: F. An introductory course in the science of engineering materials. Engineering properties are correlated with internal structures at the atomic, micro, macro, and service environment levels. Mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties are considered in the context of appropriate materials selection for design. Issues of stewardship of materials resources and recyclability are also addressed. Prerequisite: Chemistry 103.

Course Information for ENGR 305:

Title: Mechanics of Materials
Professor: Mr. R. Hoeksema.
Hours: 4
Description: F. Application of principles of mechanics to the solution of problems in stress and strain of engineering materials, including resistance to force, bending, torque, shear, eccentric load, deflection of beams, buckling of columns, compounding of simple stresses, introduction to theory of failure and energy methods. Laboratory experiments are used to emphasize principles. Prerequisite: 202.

Course Information for ENGR 306:

Title: Principles of Environmental Engineering
Professor: Staff.
Hours: 4
Description: S, alternate years. Decision-making in the selection of environmental control measures and equipment. The emphasis is on water supply and wastewater system design. Topics include the following: water treatment systems, water quality management, wastewater treatment, solid waste management, and hazardous waste disposal. Prerequisite: junior or senior standing in the Engineering Department or approval of the instructor.
