Undergraduate Courses Offered
The EED department currently offers many of the foundational engineering courses to for the College of Engineering.
Fundamental Engineering Courses: The courses taught by EED department faculty include ENGR 2010 – Statics, ENGR 2030 – Engineering Mechanics Dynamics, ENGR 2210 – Fundamental Electronics for Engineers, ENGR 2270 - Computer Engineering Drafting, and ENGR 2450 – Numerical Methods.
Introduction to engineering design, problem solving, and computer application skills. Orients students to college programs, academic advising, student services, professional societies, ethics, and engineering careers. A background in trigonometry is strongly recommended.
Credit(s): 2
For students concurrently enrolled in ENGR 1000. Laboratory builds skills in using the HP48G/GX calculator to solve engineering problems; the use of word processors for report writing; spreadsheets to solve engineering problems; MathCAD for engineering problem solving; an introduction to Pro Engineer for engineering design; an introduction to Access for data base management; and power point for engineering presentations. Mainly hands-on, team learning is emphasized as well as team writing and presentation skills. Students should gain an appreciation for the skills needed to solve engineering problems and prepare engineering communications.
