12 courses with the subject ENR, 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.
ENR 103Introduction to Engineering Design: 3D Prototyping 1 cr.
Students are introduced to engineering design through a series of projects involving 3D modeling and 3D printing. While students will learn some CAD specific skills, the emphasis of the course is on the design process: define the problem, propose multiple solutions, develop the solutions, realize a prototype, test, and refine the design. Clear communication of specifications and solutions will be emphasized. This course is targeting engineering majors but is also designed for other majors who would like to work on interdisciplinary projects. 1 hour lecture.
ENR 105Introduction to Engineering Design: Elementary Robotics 1 cr.
Students are introduced to engineering design through a series of projects involving robotics and introductory microprocessor coding. While students will learn some programming specific skills, the emphasis of the course is on the design process: define the problem, propose multiple solutions, develop the solutions, realize a prototype, test, and refine the design. Clear communication of specifications and solutions will b emphasized. This course is targeting engineering majors but is designed for other majors who would like to work on interdisciplinary projects. 1 hour lab.
Computer and CAD/CAM applications are used to make graphical presentations that consist of spatial analysis of points, lines, planes, and solids. Students also study vector analysis as applied to engineering mechanics. 3 hrs. lab.
This course covers the use of the personal computer as an analysis tool in engineering calculations. Students will study internal data representation (binary, hexadecimal, and ASCII codes), structured algorithm design, and numerical analysis methods. Vector operations and matrix manipulation will be emphasized. Class assignments will consist of writing code statements in higher‐level languages to instruct the PC to solve particular problems. The principles of compilers, branching, recursive programs, functions, subroutines, and global storage are included. 3 hours lecture.
The availability, characteristics, and physical properties of various materials commonly used in industry‐ferrous and nonferrous metals and nonmetals (polymers and ceramics), such as wood, plastics, glass, rubber, and masonry‐are covered in this course. Students also review current developments in the field of materials. The laboratory covers destructive and nondestructive testing of materials, including tension, compression, torsion, and deflection. Laboratory work includes micro‐ and macro‐examinations of materials and tests of ductility, hardness, impact, stress, and strain by various methods. 2 hrs. lect.; 3 hrs. lab.
Topics in this course include element and interconnection laws, network theorems, circuit equations, and methods of solution (branch equations ,Ohm’s and Kirchoff’s laws, node and mesh equations, and Norton and Thevenin equivalents, superposition), transient and steady state responses, frequency response, resonance phenomena, and power. Op-amps and the phasor analysis of AC circuits are also covered. 3 hrs. lecture. This course includes a 1 hr. lab (ENR 218) which is required for computer engineering and electrical engineering and optional for all others through a separate registration. 3 hrs. lect. This course includes a 1 hr. lab (ENR 218) which is required for computer engineering and electrical engineering majors and optional for all others.
PHY 110 and MAT 204 or by advisement. Semester(s) Offered: Fall
ENR 214Introduction to Digital Logic 4 cr.
This course covers the fundamentals of digital logic. Students will study combinational and sequential circuits. Karnaugh maps and Boolean algebra will be covered as ways of simplifying logic circuits. Feedback will be used to introduce gates with memory such as various types of flip flops and latches. Throughout the course there will be an emphasis on grouping together fundamental building blocks (NAND, NOR, etc.) into higher level components such as registers, adders and multiplexers. The laboratory will focus on the design and construction of digital circuits. 3 hours lecture. 3 hours lab.
Both the classical and vector approaches in the application of physics to practical engineering analysis are featured in this course. Students learn the principles of static equilibrium of rigid bodies. Topics include force systems, couples, first‐ and second‐moments, centroids, friction, and free body diagrams. Application areas include trusses, frames, machines, cables, and other structures. 3 hrs. lect.
The application of physics to the analysis of moving particles, systems of particles, and rigid bodies is covered in this course. Students learn the principles of kinematics and kinetics using classical Newtonian laws as applied to practical engineering analysis. Topics include force systems, inertia, acceleration, work‐and‐energy, and the relationship of impulse and momentum. 3 hours lecture.
Students learn the application of physics (statics) and materials science theory to the analysis and design of structural members. The principles of axial, shear, and torsional stresses, shear flow, bending stress, and combined stresses are covered. Shear and bending moment characteristics are related to the flexural formula, including such tools as the moment‐area method and the three‐moment theorem. Design of pressure vessels, columns, and other systems is emphasized. 3 hours lecutre.
ENR 218Introduction to Circuit Analysis Laboratory 1 cr.
This is a one‐semester hour laboratory in support of ENR 208 . The laboratory is required for computer engineering and electrical engineering majors and optional for all other students. 3 hours lab.
Students will explore special topics in the field of engineering and a more concentrated study within the discipline. Each course will emphasize a basic understanding of content, concurrent with the development of critical thinking skills in the analysis of relevant issues. This course may be taken twice for credit, provided the topics differ. 3 hours lecture.
