11 courses with the subject ES, 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.
ES 1000Orientation to Engineering Study1
Introduction to skills and professional development related to engineering. Includes the engineering method, ethics, how to think and communicate visually, and the history and design of engineering. Provides activities to help the student transition to the rigorous engineering curriculum. Recommended for all entering freshmen engineering students. (.5 hr lec, 1 hr lab)
Introduces the use of computers in solving a wide variety of engineering and science-oriented problems. Includes documentation and report writing, computing tools for writing reports and presenting data in graphical form, equation solving, and manipulation of tabular data.
Previous or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2200 . (2 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
ES 2070Engineering Surveying3
Principles of surveying and map making. Operation and use of surveying instruments, including Total Station and Data Collector. Measurement of distances, horizontal and vertical curves, open and closed traverse, area and volume calculations, and land subdivisions. Conversion of field data to electronic formats such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) programs.
Principles of particles and rigid body motion developed in vector form and applied to engineering problems, emphasizing force-mass acceleration, work-energy, and impulse-momentum.
Previous or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2205 and PHYS 1310 . (3 hrs lec)
ES 2200Robotics for K-12 Teachers1
Students are introduced to the concepts that are fundamental in the understanding of how to design, build, program, and operate robots through a lecture-style atmosphere. Students will be expected to participate in notetaking, readings, discussions, and concurrent implementation of the presented material through the programming of microcontrollers and configuring of electronic and mechanical components.
Previous or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2205 . (2 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
ES 2310Thermodynamics3
Introductions of thermodynamic variables, processes, and laws, followed by derivation of thermodynamics relations applied to real physical problems. Concepts include mass, energy, and entropy balances; availability; reversible and irreversible processes.
Students study incompressible flow of ideal and real fluids at rest and in motion. Fluids may be liquids, vapors, gases, or combinations of these. The effects of static forces and compressibility are given special attention. Kinematics, dynamics, flow, resistance, and physical effects of flow are considered in detail for moving fluids. Potential and stream functions and similitude and dimensional analysis are also studied.
Designed for students in the AAS Drafting program who do not wish to continue their education beyond the AAS degree level. Students will learn to measure distance, elevation, and angles using surveying equipment; demonstrate equipment handling procedures; write out different methods of recording field data; and other skills required to perform surveying duties. The lab portion of this course will include intensive field work and learning the principles of surveying in a concentrated format.
