Engineering Science

EGR* 116
Hydraulics and Pneumatics ------ 3 Credits

This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of hydraulics and pneumatics, which involves both theoretical and practical study, including problem solving. Topics will also include valves, pumps, circuits, hydraulic system troubleshooting, and controllers for major processing equipment including extruders and injection mold machines.
   Prerequisite: MAT* 137 (may be taken concurrently) or permission of instructor.

EGR* 118
Material Science ------ 3 Credits

An introduction into the structure and applications of engineering and commodity materials. Contrasts and comparisons will be drawn between materials to determine which is best for a given application. Emphasis will be placed on material properties and testing.
   Prerequisite: MAT* 137 (may be taken concurrently) or permission of instructor.

EGR* 211
Engineering Statics ------ 3 Credits

This course is an introduction to engineering mechanics via vector approach to static forces and their solution. Topics include: properties of force systems, free-body analysis, first and second moments of areas and mass, and static friction. Applications to trusses, frames, beams, and cables included.
   Prerequisite: MAT* 254 (may be taken concurrently).

EGR* 212
Engineering Dynamics ------ 3 Credits

This course centers on engineering applications of Newtonian mechanics to dynamic forces, translational motion, work, impulse, and momentum. Topics included: Kinematics, kinetics of particles and rigid bodies, vibrations, and energy and momentum conservation.
   Prerequisite: EGR* 211, MAT* 256 (may be taken concurrently).

EGR* 214
Engineering Thermodynamics ------ 3 Credits

This course is an introduction to the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. Topics included are: energy concepts and balances, thermodynamic properties of pure substances and ideal gases, analysis of ideal and real processes including turbines, pumps, heat exchangers, and compressors.
   Prerequisite: PHY* 221, MAT* 254, and CHE* 121. PHY* 221 and MAT* 254 may be taken concurrently.
