Engineering

The student will demonstrate knowledge of the use of the computer as a problem-solving tool in applications that are primarily mathematic or scientific in nature. He or she will demonstrate an ability to define solutions to computer applications with algorithms. The student will create, test, and debug computer programs in the C++ language for the solutions of different applications. Students cannot receive credit for both COSC 2513 and COSC 2613.

This is a course for students who need to use the computer as a problem-solving tool in mathematical, scientific and engineering applications. Students will write programs in C++ to solve calculus problems. Students will write and implement structured algorithms with special attention given to program design and modularity. Students cannot receive credit for both COSC 2513 and COSC 2613.

This course is a continuation of COSC 2613 to emphasize mathematics, engineering, science and computer science applications. Students will use the C++ programming language to develop an object-oriented approach to the design and implementation of large-scale problems. The course introduces data structures: arrays, files, sets, pointers, lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs as well as program verification and complexity. By building on previous knowledge of searching and sorting, students will be introduced to recursion and study practical examples of complexity analysis.

This course is an introduction to engineering design and graphics, including design problems, sketching, dimensioning, tolerancing, multi-view orthographic representations, auxiliary views, section views, and working drawings. Students are required to use computer-aided drafting in this course. Sketching and CAD techniques will be integrated in this course. IAI: EGR 941 Engineering.

The student will apply a knowledge of mathematics and basic physics principles to the solution of equilibrium problems in two and three dimensions. After learning to identify forces and reduce them to equivalent systems, the student will use vector algebra in the solution of problems involving forces acting on rigid bodies, structures, and machines. In addition, methods of calculus will be used to locate centroids. IAI: EGR 942 Engineering.

The student will apply a knowledge of calculus and basic physical principles to the solution of problems in kinematics and kinetics. The concepts of motion, force, work, energy, impulse, and momentum will be used to solve two- and three-dimensional problems involving the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. IAI: EGR 943 Engineering.

The student will apply engineering principles to determine mechanical capacities of structural materials. The course will develop and present concepts of stress and strain, including thermal stresses, stresses developed by combination loading, transformation of stresses (Mohr's Circle, and analytically); elastic and plastic deformation in axial, transverse, and torsional loading; and deflection of beams and columns. The course will present methods for design of beams using shear and bending moment diagrams with single and combine loading, and the design of columns and shafts. IAI: EGR 945 Engineering.

This course studies the concepts of electricity and magnetism including circuit variables (units, voltage, inductance, power, and energy); circuit elements (R, L, C, and operational amplifiers); simple resistive circuits; circuit analysis (node-voltage, mesh-current, equivalents, and superimposition); transient analysis; and sinusoidal steady state (analysis and power).
