This course introduces students to fundamentals of programming using Matlab/Simulink and relevant toolboxes. Emphasis will be on matrix representation of vectors and real-life engineering problem solving. Prerequisites: EGR-211 and MAT-265.

Introduction to both traditional and modern manufacturing engineering topics. Traditional manufacturing topics include casting, machining, stamping, forming (plastics and metal), metrology, etc. Modern manufacturing topics include Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Flexible Manufacturing Systems, robotics, CAD/CAM/CIM/CAPP, nano-fabrication, etc. Prerequisite: EGR-211

An introduction to the science of engineering materials. Engineering properties of materials - mechanical, electrical, and chemical - are closely linked to the underlying solid state and molecular structure. Chemistry relating to various aspects of design including phase change, solution theory, acid-base solutions, and chemical equilibrium is presented. The processes by which these materials are produced and manufactured are also presented. Other topics include atomic bonding, crystal lattices, dislocation theory, phase diagrams, heat treatment, ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, ceramics and glasses, polymers and composites. Prerequisites: CHE-488 or CHE-125.

This course is a continuation of the Introduction to CAD course (EGR-142). Students elaborate on advanced computer-aided drawing and editing commands, symbol libraries, attributes, and pictorial drawings. Design projects are typically included. Prerequisite: EGR-142

A study of the engineering profession and professional life from an ethics perspective. Christian ethics are applied to engineering, with discussions of case histories. A study of technology from a biblical perspective and our ethical roles in it. Other topics include biblical environmentalism and environmental ethics. Prerequisite: EGR-121 or permission of instructor.

This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of robotics which include kinematics and inverse kinematics, path planning, dynamics, and control. Using software as appropriate, students will gain experience with the process of modeling and controlling the motion of mechanical robots. Prerequisites: EGR-214 and EGR-320.

Introduction to the thermal-fluid sciences, energy, its forms and transformations, and the interactions of energy with matter. This includes properties of pure substances, the first law of thermodynamics, the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, power cycles, vapor cycles, refrigeration cycles, gas mixtures, and chemical reactions. Prerequisites: CHE-488 or CHE-125, and PHY-222.

Introduction to heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. Applications to heat exchangers, ducts & pipes, surfaces, phase exchanges, and mass transfer. Application of dimensional analysis and numerical methods for solving heat transfer problems. Design of equipment involving heat-transfer processes. Prerequisites: MAT-255 and EGR-380. Prerequisite or Corequisite: MAT-265.
