ENGINEERING

ENES-100  Introduction to Engineering Design

3 Credits

In this course, students are introduced to the engineering design process by working on a product design project. Working in teams, students will design and build a product that satisfies specified functional, or operational, requirements. The design will involve a variety of topics from engineering, technology and the sciences. Topics, with which students must become familiar in order to complete their project, will be drawn from various disciplines, such as mechanics, fluidics, energy concepts, thermodynamics, electrical circuits, and chemistry. In addition, students will use CAD software and other computer applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets and computer languages. Prerequisite: Eligible to enroll in MATH-131 or above. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab)

ENES-120  Statics

3 Credits

Students will study the equilibrium of stationary bodies under the influence of various kinds of forces. Topics studied include: forces, moments, couples, equilibrium, frames and machines, centroids, moment of inertia, and friction. Vector and scalar methods are used to solve problems. Prerequisite: PHYS-110; Pre- or Co-requisite: MATH-150. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab)

ENES-130  Dynamics

3 Credits

This course will enable the student to acquire knowledge dealing with systems of heavy particles and rigid bodies in motion. In order to study such systems, it is necessary to learn force, acceleration, work, energy and impulse-momentum relationships. In addition, material will be discussed which covers motion of one body relative to another in a plane and in space. Prerequisite: ENES-120 and MATH-150. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab)

ENES-140  Mechanics of Materials

3 Credits

The student will acquire a knowledge of the distortion of engineering materials in relation to changes in stress or temperature. The geometry of internal strain and external displacement will be studied. Applications will be presented and discussed which cover beams, columns, shafts, tanks and other structural machine and vehicle members. Prerequisite: ENES-120 and MATH-150 or equivalent. (3 hours weekly)

ENES-181  Thermodynamics

3 Credits

This course is designed for the student who plans to transfer to an engineering program. Topics covered include the following: introduction to thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties of matter, laws of thermodynamics, cycles, reactions, mixtures, automobile engines and turbines. Prerequisite: MATH-150 and PHYS-112. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab)

ENES-204 Basic Circuit Theory

3 Credits

The student will review the I-V relationships of resistors, capacitors, inductors, sources, op-amps, and transformers. The student will perform circuit analysis using Kirchoff’s laws, node and mesh analysis, superposition, Thevenin and Norton theorems. The student will also perform DC and AC steady state and impulse analysis for first and second order circuits using Laplace Transforms and the Convolution Integral. Prerequisite: PHYS-111; Co-requisite: MATH-260. (3 hours weekly)

ENES-206 Fundamental Electric and Digital Circuit Laboratory

2 Credits

This course provides an introduction to basic measurement techniques and electrical laboratory equipment such as power supplies, oscilloscopes, and voltmeters. Students will design, simulate, and construct circuits containing passive elements, operational amplifiers and digital integrated circuits. Both transient and steady-state responses of these circuits will be studied. Prerequisite: ENES-244; Co-requisite: ENES-204. (1 hour lecture, 3 hours lab)

ENES-244 Digital Logic Design

3 Credits

This course will introduce the basic principles and design procedures of digital systems at the gate and intermediate chip levels for electrical engineering students. The student will acquire knowledge of gates, flip-flops, registers, counters, Karnaugh maps, PAL devices, and synchronous sequential circuit design and analysis. Prerequisites: ENES-100 and MATH-133. (4 hours weekly)
