11 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 100EPADS I2
Fall This course has two concurrent parts. First, students are introduced to engineering design, team development, problem-solving, and a team design project, which requires the students to create, design, and build simple electrical and mechanical devices that perform specific functions subject to defined constraints. Second, students develop engineering skills, such as how to create solid models (using software such as SolidWorks™) and how to apply basic electrical, civil, mechanical, and computer engineering concepts and techniques. 6 laboratory hours. 2 credit hours
MAT 171 with a grade of 2.0 or higher 2 credit hours
EGR 240Mathematical Methods in Engineering3
Spring This course covers topics of applied mathematics that build upon differential and integral calculus and that are particularly relevant to engineering majors. These topics include Complex Numbers, Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus, Fourier Series and Transforms, and Special Functions.
Fall The engineering design process and the method of design are introduced. Principles of equilibrium are used to analyze forces on statically determinate rigid bodies and structures to include trusses and frames. The behavior of deformable bodies under axial and flexural loading is examined. The concepts of stress, strain and material properties are introduced and are used to relate external forces applied to a body to the resulting internal forces and deformations so that performance can be evaluated. Practical applications involving the design and adequacy of mechanical and structural elements under various loading conditions are emphasized. There is a culminating team engineering design project. 2 lecture hours. 3 laboratory hours.
Fall/Spring This seminar prepares students for their first co‐op work assignment. Activities may include engaging in mock interviews with engineering employers, writing resumes and cover letters to apply for co‐op positions, and interacting with engineering employers through online and in‐person networking opportunities. Engineering students who have finished previous co‐op terms may be invited to present and discuss their experiences in class. Guest speakers from industry, including engineering co‐op mentors and/or human resource professionals, may be invited to discuss topics related to the real world of engineering employment. Exercises may also include role playing and situational ethics. Grading will be Pass/Fail. 1 credit hour
Fall Students will learn how to generate mathematical models from physical systems encountered in Mechanical and Electrical engineering. These include basic mechanical and electrical systems and sub‐systems including static and dynamic equilibrium force analyses, vibration, elasticity, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and simple electric circuits. Topics covered include the two fundamental approaches used for designing feedback control systems. Classical control or frequency‐domain techniques for Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems are developed as well as state‐space approaches. First, second and higher order techniques are covered as well as multi degree of freedom systems. Practical hands‐on experiments are conducted throughout the course to include programming micro‐electronics and sensor feedback systems. Controller design includes the use of root locus plots and frequency domain techniques. Students will evaluate these techniques for performance, stability, and compensation. The laboratory emphasizes computational tools for control analysis and design. Matlab and computer techniques are employed to assist students with the mathematical rigor of the materials covered.
2.0 or higher in ME 270 or ECE 280 . 3 credit hours
EGR 360Fluid Mechanics3
Spring This course serves as an introduction to fluid mechanics. In previous courses the basic laws for solids have been developed and implemented. The intent of this course is to formulate and apply analogous laws for fluids. The initial portion of the class focuses on defining a fluid and its properties. This is followed by an analysis of fluids at rest (hydrostatics) and the forces they impart on mechanical objects such as dams. The final portion of the class covers fluids in motion. A variety of analysis techniques are covered. Once developed, these analysis techniques are used to investigate a range of fluid dynamics problems such as the flow within piping systems, and external aerodynamic drag forces.
2.0 or higher in MAT 272 (Differential Equations), ME 250 or EGR 250 (Statics). 3 credit hours
EGR 392Automatic Control3
Spring This course introduces fundamental principles and applications of the automatic control of linear, time-invariant systems. Controller design includes the use of root locus plots and frequency domain techniques. Additionally, students will evaluate these techniques for performance, stability, and compensation. The laboratory emphasizes computational tools for control analysis and design. 2 lecture hours. 3 laboratory hours.
Spring This course introduces fundamental principles and applications of applied control. Topics include analytical techniques for digital control, design using transform and state-space methods, and multi-input, multi-output systems. The laboratory is dedicated to hardware implementation of proportional, integral, derivative (PID) control and other advanced controllers, as well as computational methods for discrete system analysis and controller design. 2 lecture hours. 3 laboratory hours.
