26 courses with the subject ENGR, 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.

Formulation and application of solid mechanics: analysis of forces, stresses, deformation and strains in solids (equilibrium, kinematic, and constitutive relations). Assessment of strength and stability, effects of pure and combined loading, and statically-indeterminate structures. Different mechanisms of strengthening of metals are also considered: grain refining, alloying with interstitial and substitutional solutes, precipitates, second phase, etc. Contemporary approaches of modelling the strain hardening behavior are highlighted. Includes a two-hour weekly lab. Offered alternate years. Credits 4
Theory and application of circuit components: transistors, diodes, power supplies, filters, amplifiers, control circuits. Includes 2 hour laboratory each week and 2 hours of lecture. Offered alternate years. Credits 3
Analysis and applications of digital circuits such as flip- flops, registers, counters and analog-to-digital converters leading to interfacing real-time data collection to computers. Introduces field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Offered alternate years. Credits 3
Modeling and control of electromechanical systems. Electronic interface and controller design, selection of sensors and actuators, signal acquisition, filtering and conditioning. Use of microcontrollers. Offered alternate years. Credits 3
Feedback control of linear continuous and digital systems in the time and frequency domain. Frequency response, stability, root locus, linear state variable feedback, and design of compensators used to analyze closed-loop systems. Offered alternate years. Credits 3
Provides an opportunity for a student to gain field experience in an area related to the student's program of study or career goals. The learning objectives for internships include connecting academic knowledge and problem-solving processes to experiences and problems in professional settings. A Faculty Sponsor in the relevant academic department must approve a description and an internship learning plan at least eight weeks in advance of the start of the term in which the internship is to be completed. This internship learning plan must be filed with the Director of Internships in the Center for Career Development at least three weeks prior to the start of the internship. Approval of each application for an internship is made by the Director of Internships based upon approved policies and guidelines. Supervision of the internship experience is provided by an appropriate Bridgewater College Cooperating Professor (who may or may not be the Faculty Sponsor) and by a Site Supervisor at the agency or business in which the student is an intern. Students must complete 40 hours (minimum two weeks) of internship-related work as well as weekly journal entries and a final reflective paper completed in accordance with approved requirements. Internships are graded by the Cooperating Professor on an S or U basis. A maximum of 12 credits in internships may be applied toward graduation. Students who successfully complete at least three credits of internship at one or more placements may petition the Associate Provost to accept those credits in fulfillment of the FILA general education experiential learning requirement.

In this two-course sequence, students collaborate in groups to design an engineering project supervised by engineering faculty. A typical project includes testing, analysis and redesign, with application of skills in manufacturing process design and fabrication. Students work in groups of 3 - 5 students. Professional communication is scaffolded throughout the sequence, including oral presentations, proposals and reports, and a comprehensive written final report. Credits 3
Upon approval of the department and the division head, a student with a cumulative grade point average of 2.20 or better may engage in an independent study or research project. One desiring to pursue independent study or research must submit a written description of the proposed work to the chair of the appropriate department and to the appropriate division head prior to the last day of the drop and add period for the semester in which the study is to be conducted. At the end of the semester, the supervising professor files with the registrar a grade for the student and a description of the work accomplished. Credit may be received for no more than three independent studies or research projects. Credits 3
