EGR-325 Engineering Materials and Processing

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.

2

EGR-350 Advanced CAD (Computer Aided Design)

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

2

EGR-360 Engineering and Environmental Ethics

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.

2

EGR-370 Introduction to Robotics

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.
