Engineering Graphics - ENGR 1032 (ENGR 103)
Course Description: Introduces the student to conception, visualization, and communication of creative
design concepts useful in the field of engineering. Develops drafting skills and introduces
sketching, drafting instruments and computer software for graphic representations.
Emphasis is placed on graphical analysis, orthographic projection, auxiliary views,
pictorial drawings, dimensioning methods, and sectioning with adherence to USA Standards
Institute standards. AutoCAD will be used.
Prerequisite: MATH 1113 (or MATH 101) or MATH 1213 (or MATH 110) with a grade of c or better
2 credit hours
Introduction to Engineering - ENGR 1052
Course Description: Introduces students to the history of engineering, engineering
disciplines and principles of design. The course allows students to get an overview
of engineering from the beginning of their study and to become broadly educated across
various engineering disciplines while learning how to solve engineering problems.
Professional issues such as licensure, ethics, safety, and design are discussed. Projects
and activities are used to develop problem solving, written and verbal communication
and computer skills (word-processing, spreadsheets, presentations, mathematical analysis,
email, Internet).
Prerequisites: MATH 1113 (or MATH 101) or MATH 1213 (or MATH 110) with a grade of "C" or better and
eligibility for ENGL 1013
2 credit hours
Surveying - ENGR 2073 (ENGR 207)
Course Description: Covers the fundamentals of surveying procedures and office computations including
electronic distance measurement, leveling, computer solutions to land area problems,
stadia measurements, topographic surveys and construction surveys.
Prerequisites: MATH 1223 (or MATH 111) with a grade of C or better
3 credit hours
Statics - ENGR 2453 (ENGR 245)
Course Description: Introduces the students to engineering skills and provides a
strong engineering foundation for further study. Emphasizes vector treatment of resultants
and equilibrium of force systems, including equilibrium of particles, internal forces,
rigid bodies, trusses and frames. Also focuses on the area moment of inertia, the
center of mass and the centroid of area.
Prerequisites: MATH 2125 (or MATH 211) and PHYS 2133 (or PHYS 221) with grade of C or better
3 credit hours
Comprehensive Electrical Engineering - ENGR 2953 (ENGR 295)
