8 courses with the subject ENS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ENS 100Engineering Orientation1
This course is designed to help beginning engineering students decide on their field of engineering. The history and evolution of engineering is examined from early military requirements to today when there are many fields of engineering. This course introduces such topics as ethics and professional responsibility, written and oral communication, the engineering design process, succeeding in engineering, decision making, and makes extensive use of computer projects to teach the students how to use an integrated software package. Traditionally offered in fall semesters only. Prerequisite: Current enrollment in, or successful completion of, MTH 185- Precalculus or higher. 1 cr. .5 Lec. 1.5 Lab. Effective August 2026.

TThis course is designed to give the student a basic knowledge of graphical concepts and relationships including orthographic projection, dimensioning, sectioning, tolerancing, spatial analysis, and two and three-dimensional relationships. These concepts are studied via the use of a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software package. Students will create detailed two- dimensional drawings and generate accurate three-dimensional wire frame models of objects. The course includes a project where the students will design and build an object and then present it to the class. Prerequisite: None. 3 cr. 2 Lec. 2 Lab.
ENS 199Introduction to Engineering Design and Build
This course is an introduction to the design process for an electrical or a mechanical prototype, preparation of technical reports, and the preparation and delivery of an oral presentation in the context of a specific electronic and mechanical design/build project. Participation at a regional design and build competition is required. ENS 199 may be taken up to 3 semesters for credit.
This course is a study of the design process, preparation of technical reports, and the preparation and delivery of an oral presentation in the context of a specific electronic and mechanical design/build project. Participating in a state and/or national design and build competition is required which may involve an overnight field trip, depending on location. Prerequisite: PHY 143. 1 cr. 2 lab.
This course is the study of systems at rest. Topics include concepts of forces and moments, resolution and composition of vector quantities, conditions for static equilibrium, statics of particles, statics of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions, distributed forces, centroids and center of gravity, friction, and principle of virtual work. Prerequisite: Successful completion of MTH 222 - Calculus 2 and PHY 143 - Science and Engineering Physics. 3 cr. 3 Lec.
This course is the study of systems in motion. Topics include Newton’s Law of Motion, dynamic equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies with applications of D’Alembert’s Principle in translation and rotation, moments of inertia, work, energy, and impulse and momentum. Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENS 201 - Statics and MTH 222 - Calculus 2. 3 cr. 3 Lec.
This course is an elementary analysis of physical properties of deformable bodies. Topics include the following: stress and strain at a point, Mohr’s Circle, torsion, axial loads, flexure, columns, beams, riveted joints, and pressurized vessels. Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENS 201 - Statics. 3 cr. 3 Lec.
