Online Learning and Degree Programs

ENGE 199  (3)  Engineering Fundamentals

An introduction to concepts in electrical, computer and mechanical engineering through a practical project to be undertaken by teams of students. The project will involve mechanical construction, sensing of mechanical quantity by electrical means, as well as interfacing to and programming of a simple micro-controller. Students will be required to acquire suitable components, demonstrate their designs, and write a report documenting their efforts. (0:1:2)

Prerequisite: PHYS 121 (may be taken concurrently) and either MATH 100 or MATH 121 (may be taken concurrently).

ENGM 141  (3)  Engineering Mechanics

Topics include force vectors, moments of forces, couples, distributed loads, equilibrium of a rigid body, structural analysis, internal forces, dry friction, kinematics of a particle, as well as force and acceleration. (4:0:0)

Prerequisite: PHYS 121 and either MATH 100 or MATH 121.

ENGR 101 Introduction to the Engineering Profession I
