EGR 101* Engineering Graphics with CAD I (3)
An introduction to and application of the basic structure and syntax of AutoCAD software to engineering graphics concepts. Topics include hardware, software, drawing commands, development of prototype drawings, editing, file management, 2-view and 3-view drawings, blocks, isometric and oblique drawings, dimensioning and plotting. One lecture, four laboratory hours per week.

EGR 102* Engineering Graphics with CAD II (3)
An intermediate AutoCAD course and a continuation of EGR 101*. Topics of study include 3-view drawing, auxiliaries, sectioning, graphing, attributes, 3-D visualization, user coordinate systems, simple wire frames, faced objects , surface commands, and alternate methods of 3-D drawing. PREREQUISITE: EGR 101*. One lecture, four laboratory hours per week.

EGR 103* Advanced Graphic and CAD Modeling (3)
An advanced course dealing with three dimensional modeling and presentation utilities of the AutoCAD software. Topics include exploded isometrics, 2-D drawing, 3-D drawing and modeling, user coordinate systems, detailed wire frame modeling, basic solid modeling, viewing a 3-D model and presentation techniques using slide shows. PREREQUISITE: EGR 102* or permission of the instructor. One lecture, four laboratory hours per week.

EGR 130 Introduction to Engineering (1)
A very brief review of some basic trigonometric principles and an introduction to vector algebra. A study of elementary statics with emphasis upon graphical and mathematical solutions. Problem solving techniques are stressed and structured problem format is required. PREREQUISITE: High school trigonometry or MATH 1720. One lecture hour per week.

EGR 230 FORTRAN for Engineers (3)
This course is designed to introduce students to the vocabulary and grammar of FORTRAN-77. Greatest emphasis is placed on algorithm design, program structure and the utilization of the computer to carry out complex calculations which would be otherwise difficult or unfeasible. Course content is oriented to complement a student’s mathematical or engineering background. PREREQUISITES: MATH 1910 with a grade of “C” or better. Two lecture, two laboratory hours per week.

EGR 240 Statics (3)
A study of vectors, forces and moments, equivalent systems of forces, equilibrium, centroids and centers of gravity, shear and moment in beams, fluid statics, analysis of simple structures, friction and moments of inertia. PREREQUISITE: MATH 1910.

EGR 250 Dynamics (3)
Topics covered include the study of motion - both kinematics and kinetics using Newton's laws. Emphasis is placed on rectilinear and curvilinear motion, Newton's second law, energy and momentum, Newton's laws and systems of particles, kinematics of rigid bodies and plane motion of rigid bodies. PREREQUISITE: EGR 240.

EGR 276T Selected Topics in Engineering (1-6)
A course which deals with topics carefully selected to meet the needs of special groups The course may be repeated for credit.
