Engineering (ENGR)
The College offers the engineering science courses necessary for the student to pursue the Engineering Dual Degree Program described on page 68 of the catalogue. These courses provide the fundamental scientific principles and the basic engineering skills necessary for a student to pursue a professional degree in engineering. Students under this program are exempted from the Senior Seminar at Centenary.
ENGR 251. Engineering Graphics (3)
Introduction to engineering graphics as a means of communication. Projections. Sectional views. Dimensions. Descriptive geometry. Sketching. Computer Graphics. On demand.
PHYS 312. Intermediate Mechanics: Dynamics (3)
Prerequisities:PHYS 104 and MATH 307. A vector treatment of the kinematics and kinectics of particles and rigid bodies. Newton's equations, Euler's equations. Central force motion. Introduction to vibrating systems. Alternate years. (Same as PHYS 312).
ENGR 321. Thermal Physics 3
Prerequisites: PHYS 105; MATH 303. An Introduction to the physics underlying thermodynamic concepts. Topics include the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Helmholtz and Gibbs free energies, chemical potential, grand partition function, and the properties of ideal, Bose, and Fermi gases. (Same as PHYS 321) Alternate years.
ENGR 323. Mathematical Methods of Physics & Engineering 3
Prerequisites: PHYS 105 and MATH 303 and 307. An Introduction to basic mathematical methods and techniques used in the solution of physical problems with emphasis on applications rather than theory. Topics include solutions of differential equations, vector analysis, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, an Introduction to methods of solving partial differential equations. (Same as MATH 323 and PHYS 323)
ENGR 491-496. Independent Study in Engineering (1-6)
Prerequisite: Consent of Instructor. Guided Independent Study of a topic agreed upon by the student and any member of the department. Either a theoretical or an experimental subject may be selected. Written reports or oral presentations may be required when appropriate. Credit may vary from one to six hours per semester.
199. Module Studies (3)
Special topics offered during the Module.
