EGR-115A Intro to Technology Lab 1 (0-3) F
Prerequisites: None
Corequisites: EGR-115
This course provides a laboratory setting for EGR-115. Emphasis is placed on
developing skills in dimensional analysis, measurement systems, engineering
graphics, and calculator applications. Upon completion, students should be able to
apply the laboratory experiences to the concepts presented in EGR-115. (2005 SP)
EGR-150 Intro to Engineering 2 (1-2) F
Prerequisites: None
Corequisites: None
This course is an overview of the engineering profession. Topics include goal setting
and career assessment, ethics, public safety, the engineering method and design
process, written and oral communication, interpersonal skills and team building, and
computer applications. Upon completion, students should be able to understand the
engineering process, the engineering profession, and utilize college resources to meet
their educational goals. This course has been approved for transfer under the
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement as a premajor and/or elective course
requirement for the A.A., A.F.A., and A.S. degrees. (2005 SP)
EGR-220 Engineering Statics 3 (3-0) AND
Prerequisites: PHY-251
Corequisites: MAT-272
This course introduces the concepts of engineering based on forces in equilibrium.
Topics include concentrated forces, distributed forces, forces due to friction, and
inertia as they apply to machines, structures, and systems. Upon completion, students
should be able to solve problems which require the ability to analyze systems of
forces in static equilibrium. This course has been approved for transfer under the
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement as a premajor and/or elective course
requirement for the A.A., A.F.A., and A.S. degrees. (1997 FA)
EGR-225 Engineering Dynamics 3 (3-0) AND
Prerequisites: EGR-220
Corequisites: MAT-273
This course introduces the concepts of engineering based on the analysis of motion in
Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. Topics include the two and
three dimensional motion of particles and rigid bodies, the forces associated with that
motion, and relative motion between two coordinate systems. Upon completion,
students should be able to solve problems which require the ability to analyze the
motion and forces involved in a dynamic system. This course has been approved for
transfer under the Comprehensive Articulation Agreement as a premajor and/or
elective course requirement for the A.A., A.F.A., and A.S. degrees. (1997 FA)
ELC Electricity
ELC-111 Intro to Electricity 3 (2-2) S
Prerequisites: None
Corequisites: None
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of electricity and test equipment to
non-electrical/electronic majors. Topics include basic DC and AC principles (voltage,
resistance, current, impedance); components (resistors, inductors, and capacitors);
power; and operation of test equipment. Upon completion, students should be able to
