7 courses with the subject EGR, 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.
EGR 101INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING3
Provides an inspirational exploration of a variety of introductory mathematics, science, engineering and other quantitative topics. Emphasizes units of measure and/or dimensional analysis in all calculations. Introduces problem-solving techniques that involve coordinate systems and vectors; linear, log-log, and semi-log graphs of data; linear interpolation; analytical (algebraic and trigonometric) and numerical methods; computer/calculator programming; and use of the HP-50g calculator (or equivalent), Excel, Working Model, and Python to perform engineering calculations and simulations. Pre/Corequisite(s): MTH 104 or MTH 157
Studies metallic, polymeric, ceramic, and composite engineering materials from the atomic, micro- and macroscopic viewpoints, and the effect of structures, strengthening mechanisms, and heat treatments on mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties. Topics include imperfections, diffusion, equilibrium phase diagrams and transformations, failure mechanisms, material testing techniques, and applications and processes. Prerequisite(s): EGR 101
Provides an in-depth study of the principles of orthographic projection of 3D objects by using and/or constructing front, horizontal (top), profile (side), and primary and secondary auxiliary views with the help of “skip-a-view,” revolution, and other techniques. Topics include the analysis of lines (true length, bearing, grade and slope), planes (true size and shape, edge views, intersection of and true angle between and among planes and lines); piercing points (of lines through planes); parallelism; and perpendicularity.
INTERNSHIP 1-12-3 Students will obtain experience in the engineering field through a combination of occupational instruction and on-the-job training. This course integrates classroom occupational study with a planned supervised practical work experience. Prerequisite(s): Permission of Instructor.
Covers the fundamentals of statistical process control (SPC) and continuous improvement of products, processes and systems. Topics include lean manufacturing and six-sigma; product liability issues; SPC diagrams, charts, and techniques; fundamentals of probability and statistics; control charts for both variables and attributes; and an introduction to reliability. Prerequisite(s): EGR 101 or Permission of Instructor; MTH 172 or Permission of Instructor
Topics covered include concurrent force systems in equilibrium found 2026-2027 Westmoreland County Community College Catalog in trusses, frames, and machines; free-body diagrams; equilibrium of rigid and deformable bodies with non-concurrent point, distributed, torsional, and frictional loads; moments, couples, and equivalent force systems; centroids, center of mass, and second moment of areas; normal and shear stress, strain, and deformation; shear force, bending moment, and deflection calculations and diagrams for beams. Graphical, analytical and numerical techniques are used to solve problems with the help of a vector-capable engineering calculator. Prerequisite(s): EGR 101 or Permission of Instructor
Includes the in-depth study of two-dimensional motion of mechanisms and machine elements to determine linear and angular position, velocity, and acceleration of joints and points of interest on the mechanism. Analysis techniques include graphical, analytical, and numerical methods such as relative velocity and acceleration, instant centers, and vector loop. Students are required to do a semester-long project that includes a detailed analysis of all kinematic aspects of a two-dimensional mechanism of their choice. Prerequisite(s): EGR 101
