An introduction to engineering graphics and design, this is the first of a two-course sequence, offering hands-on instruction in the use of an industry-leading computer-aided design software system to produce two-dimensional drawings. Topics include the fundamentals of engineering graphics and design, geometric construction, the engineering design process, and drawing composition with emphasis on industry practice.

A continuation of ENGR 1211, this course introduces the principles of computer-assisted graphics and engineering design, with emphasis on the fundamentals of the design process. Integrates the creation of multiview and orthographic drawings with freehand sketching and two- and three- dimensional modeling techniques, using industry standard computer-assisted graphics and design software. Orthographic and isometric projections, auxiliary and section views, dimensioning and tolerancing practices, holes, gears and threaded fasteners are presented, focusing on engineering models and manufacturing processes.

This course provides students with an overview of various engineering disciplines to assist them in making well-informed career choices in the profession. Key topics include exploring the nature of the field and career opportunities in civil, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and other major disciplines; tools of technical communication; recording and analyzing data; dimensional analysis; computational techniques of approximate solutions; and basic statistical tools for quality control.

This course introduces computing principles and programming practices with an emphasis on the design, construction, analysis, and implementation of algorithms in engineering problem-solving using a high level programming language appropriate to engineering.

This course is an introduction to the analysis of electrical circuits and networks. Topics include resistive circuits, network topology, network analysis, capacitive and inductive circuits, AC circuits, AC power, time- and frequency-domain analysis, mutual inductance, and one- and two- port networks.

The principles of statics in two and three dimensions are covered. Other topics are internal forces in trusses, frames, machines, and continuous beams, dry friction, and centroids or centers of mass of curves, areas, and volumes.

Topics of study include kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies in plane motion.
