Engineering

Note: Some course numbers are linked to generic syllabi that describe the course in more detail but which will be different from the actual syllabi based on a variety of factors including the instructor, the academic schedule, student support policies in place, and availability of resources. The course will be governed by the syllabus provided in Canvas for that course section.

CAD/Cam and the FabLab:

• EE3100 CAD/CAM teaches skills that are valuable in many disciplines and makes the design and construction of items for research, academic competitions, and projects in the Peter T. Haughton Innovation and Fabrication Laboratory much easier.

If you are ready to jump in and explore a specific interest area of engineering, we have a wide variety of courses to explore. These are open to all students without prerequisites. These courses take students through the main concepts underlying the various engineering disciplines and use a variety of activities and projects to reinforce learning and the engineering design process.

Residential students are welcome and encouraged to take online courses. Online students will have priority for online sections and residential students will be placed in residential versions in semesters when both are offered.

We have several advanced engineering courses that can help students prepare for a rigorous engineering curriculum in college. These courses have prerequisites and have expectations that are higher than those in our other courses.

• EE4520: Biomedical Instrumentation - (Prerequisites: Calculus and either Biomedical or Electrical Engineering). Students learn the basic principles of electronic instrumentation with biomedical examples.

• EE4540: Statics - (Prerequisites: Calculus and Physics) Learn how to apply the principles of Mechanics to problems of equilibrium. Topics include: vectors, moments, analysis of force systems (trusses, frames, and machines), rigid body equilibrium, center of gravity, and moment of inertia.

• EE4560: Circuits - (Prerequisites: Calculus and Electrical Engineering) Students continue the study of electrical circuits, including DC circuit analysis and theorems, op-amps, first and second order circuits, transient analysis, AC sinusoids and phasors, sinusoidal steady-rate analysis, AC power analysis, three-phase circuits, magnetically coupled circuits, frequency response, and Laplace and Fourier transforms.
