10 courses with the subject ECES, 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.
ECES 100Statics3
This course is an analysis of the subject of statics. The objective is to impart the understanding of statics with the understanding of force (including friction), moments, components of forces, centroids, theorem of Pappus, plane and space truss analysis, moments of inertia and radius gyration. The calculation of loads on beams, wedges, screws, journal bearings, thrust bearings, flexible cables and flexible belts is also covered. A full mathematical understanding is expected.
The development of thermodynamic principles and concepts. Systems of units. First law for open and closed systems. Properties of pure substances. Ideal and real gases. Second law of thermodynamic. Basis reactive systems analysis.
This course is a survey of the subject of Dynamics. The course aims to help students understand kinematics and kinetics of particles and systems of particles, relative motion, plane kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies, fixed axis rotation, general plane motion, and three-dimensional kinematics of rigid bodies. This is a required undergraduate course needed to complete all of the Marine Engineering degree programs.
This course is an introduction to the structure and properties of solids commonly used in engineering applications. The emphasis of the course is metallurgy; however, polymers, composites and advanced materials applications are also incorporated. Consideration of the effects of composition (alloying), mechanical and thermal treatments are addressed. Failures of materials including fatigue, creep, thermal shock and corrosion, as well as methods of protection are detailed in the context of marine engineering applications.
ECES 221Introduction to Materials Engineering Laboratory0.5
This laboratory is for characterizing materials engineering properties and behavior. Various materials test methods are performed with statistical analysis used in the reporting and evaluation of data. Heat treatment of steel is performed with analysis of metallurgical transformation verified by hardness test results. Charpy Impact Test and tension tests are performed as destructive tests to determine material properties. Non-destructive testing and evaluation to include using visual, ultrasonic, dye penetrant and radiographic methods as well as hardness testing is performed. The course relates materials engineering testing to industry standards.
Principles of fluid statics including manometry, forces on submerged surfaces, buoyancy. Dimensional analysis. Bernoulli equation with and without friction. Linear and angular momentum. Drag and lift. Compressible flows. Introduction to open channel flows. Introduction to computational fluid dynamics.

ECES 300Strength of Materials3.5
This course details stress and strain to include analysis of axial, torsional, bending, shear, thermal, pressurized cylinders, and combined loadings. An introduction to gears and power transmission shafting is provided. Mohr’s Circle for combined stress for 2-D and 3-D problems is considered, as well as Failure Theories. Shear and bending moment for beams to analyze stress and deflection is included, as well as consideration of instability by buckling of columns.
ECES 100 and ECES 220 3 class hours a week 2 laboratory hours every other week
ECES 310Heat Transfer3
The course discusses quantitatively the three main modes of heat transfer, which are conduction, convection and radiation. A combined approach will be followed that will stress both the fundamentals of the rigorous differential description of the involved phenomena and the empirical correlations used for engineering design. Review of heat exchanger design and analysis will be covered. There will also be brief references to fundamental features of transport phenomena and a brief discussion of mass transport. A full mathematical understanding is expected.
The application of mathematics, engineering sciences, and general design techniques to the analysis and design of components used in machinery. Includes basic design practices for shafts and keys, gears, journal and antifriction bearings, bolted joints, and welded joints.

ECES 402Machine Elements2.5
The purpose of this course is to support the educational objectives of the marine engineering programs by providing students with an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the design and analysis of machine elements and components. The course includes theory of force and stress analysis, static and fatigue failure, critical speeds, and lubrication. Application of theory includes basic design practices for shafts, gears, pressure vessels, interference fits, journal and antifriction bearings, bolted joints, and welded joints. In addition, they will apply skills and knowledge acquired in mathematics, engineering mechanics, strength of materials, and materials science courses to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. This is a required course to meet the graduation requirement for all of the Marine Engineering degrees.
