EGR 115 - Engineering Graphics I

A study of descriptive geometry, orthographic representations of points, lines and planes, interesections and developments. Graphical vector analysis, engineering drawing and dimensioning are practiced. Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools will be introduced.

Credit	- one course unit
	- three semester hours

EGR 202 - Circuit Analysis I

A systematic development of network analysis methods. Topics include Kirchhoff’s laws, loop and nodal analysis, transform analysis of circuits, AC steady state analysis, and phasor diagrams.

Prerequisite: PHY 122
Co-requisite: MAT 222

Credit	- one course unit
	- three semester hours

EGR 204 - Thermodynamics

First and second laws of thermodynamics; thermodynamic properties; equilibrium; applications to physical and chemical systems.

Prerequisites: MAT 112 or Equivalent

Credit	- one course unit
	- three semester hours

EGR 207 - Statics

Application of mechanics to the study of static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics include composition and resolution of forces; moments and couples; equivalent force systems; free-body diagrams; equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; forces in trusses and beams; frictional forces; first and second moments of area; moments and products of inertia; methods of virtual work and total potential energy.

Prerequisites: PHY 121, MAT 112
Co-requisite: MAT 221

Credit	- one course unit
	- three semester hours

EGR 225 - Engineering Graphics II

This course examines the computer as an engineering design tool. A CAD (Computer Aided Design) program is used to demonstrate drawing techniques and commands. A major requirement is a design project using CAD techniques, with a written and oral presentation.

Credit	- one course unit
	- three semester hours
