  ENGR 1304.  Engineering Drawing.                                                 3:1:5

Fundamentals of drafting for engineering majors and other technical students.  Covers freehand sketching, use of instruments and object visualization as applied to orthographic projection, sectioning, and auxiliary views.  Includes dimensioning and pictorial drawings.  Emphasis on line work, neatness, lettering, and drawing accuracy.  Also includes the basic elements of computer-aided drafting with a study of basic hardware and software (AutoCAD).  Upon completion of this course, students should be able to recognize and successfully execute fundamental commands commonly found in most CAD systems throughout industry.  Provides sufficient knowledge to enable students to develop and plot two‑view drawings. Prerequisite: THEA reading requirement met or concurrent enrollment in READ 0307. [Offered fall semester.]

  ENGR 2301.  Statics.                                                                        3:3:0

This course is required in most fields of Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, etc.).  It consists of a study of forces and moments of forces, equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, centroids and centers of gravity, analysis of structures, forces in beams and cables, friction and moments of inertia. Prerequisites:  Credit for or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2414 and PHYS 2425 or consent of the head of the department. [Offered fall semester.]

  ENGR 2302.  Dynamics.                                                                   3:3:0

This course is the second part of the Statics-Dynamics sequence. It consists of the study of kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies through the use of force, work, and energy as well as impulse and momentum methods with the appropriate engineering applications.  Also includes mechanical vibrations and applications. Prerequisite:  ENGR 2301 or PHYS 2425 or consent of the department head.   [Offered spring semester.]
