ENG 1001 - Engineering Problem Solving
2
F
ENG1001 focuses on problem solving and computer skills as well as communication skills. Design projects, homework and team activities are used to integrate the topics of Engineering, Science and Mathematics. 
Prereq: MA1032 (co-requisite)
 
ENG 1002 -   Intro to Spatial Visualization
1
F
This course is intended for first-year engineering students with a demonstrated need for the development of 3-D spatial visualization skills. Topics include: isometric sketching, orthographic projection, object transformations, 3-D coordinate systems, patterns folding to 3-D objects, and cross-sections of solids. 
Prereq: None
 
ENG 1003 - Introduction to Computer Aided Drafting 
1
S
Fundamentals of creating engineering drawings with modern CAD software. Topics include basic geometric construction, drawing modification, dimensioning, and working with layers.
Prereq: ENG 1101 or ENG 1002 or ENG 1100
 
ENG 1100 - Engineering Analysis
3
S
This course serves as an introduction to the engineering profession and to its various disciplines. The focus of the course is on developing problem-solving skills, computational skills, and communication skills. Through active, collaborative work, students will learn by working on teams to apply the engineering problem-solving method to "real-world" problems. 
Prereq: MA1160(C) or MA1135(C) or MA1150(C) 
 
ENG 1101 - Engineering Analysis & Problem Solving
3
F Su
This course serves as an introduction to the engineering profession and to its various disciplines. The focus of the course is on developing problem-solving skills, computational skills, and communication skills. Through active, collaborative work, students will learn by working on teams to apply the engineering problem-solving method to "real-world" problems. 
Prereq: MA1160(C) or MA1135(C) or MA1150(C)
 
ENG 1102 - Engineering Modeling & Design
3
F S Su
Introduction to the engineering design process with an emphasis on graphics and documentation. This course is a continuation of ENG1101 and engineering problem solving in the context of the design process is a primary focus of the course
Prereq: ENG1101 and (MA1160 or MA1135 or MA1150)
 
ENG 2120 - Statics-Strength of Materials 
4
F S Su
The composition and resolution of forces and force systems, principles of equilibrium applied to various bodies, simple structures, friction, and 2nd moments of area. Intro to the mechanical behavior of materials, including calculation of stresses, strains, and deformations due to axial, torsional, and flexural loading.
Prereq: (MA 2150 or MA 2160) and PH 2100
 
ENG 3000 - Engineering for Non Believers
1-3
S
ENG 3000 is an engineering course for non-engineering majors. The course will examine questions such as; What do engineers do? How do engineers use some basic math and science principles? What role has engineering played throughout history? and How do engineers go about designing things? The course is meant to benefit students who might work in fields related to engineering such as education, business, communications, and computer science.
Prereq: None
 
ENG 3200 - Thermo Fluids
