ENGI-110 3 Units Introduction to Engineering

54 hours lecture; 54 hours total

This course introduces the major engineering disciplines, engineering decision-making and ethics, and factors for success in academic and professional settings. It provides general knowledge of engineering design, communications, problem solving, fundamental physical concepts, and computational engineering tools. Presents the relationship of engineering to materials, the environment, and mathematics. Speakers, field trips, and classroom activities expose students to the many ways engineering affects our lives and the variety of roles of engineers in society. Recommended for both technical and non-technical majors.

ENGI-242 4 Units Circuits 1

54 hours lecture; 54 hours lab; 108 hours total

Prerequisite: Completion of PHYS-240 with a minimum grade of C.

Prerequisites or Corequisites: Concurrent enrollment in or previous completion of MATH-222 with a minimum grade of C.

An introductory course in the analysis of linear circuits containing resistors, inductors, capacitors, independent and dependent voltage, and current sources. Analysis techniques are developed from Kirchhoff's network theorems and include node and loop methods, superposition and source transformations. Thevenin's and Norton's theorems are applied to DC and AC circuits. Differential equations are used to find transient response. Periodic waveform analysis including evaluation of average and rms values. AC analysis techniques include sinusoids and phasors, the concept of impedance, frequency response, and resonance. Use of simulation software, ideal operational amplifiers and transformers, approximations at high and low frequencies, impedance matching, and three-phase circuits.
