The students will work in teams. Team members will include engineering and technology members reflecting a real life industry setting. Prerequisite:Permission ofinstructor. F . View Course Syllabus
ESC 211 Mechanics I (Statics) (3-0) 3 hrs.
This introductory course presents the theory and application of the principles of statics for use in subsequent courses and in engineering practice. The subject of statics deals with bodies at rest or in equilibrium, including a study of force systems, vectors, analytical methods of solution, friction, center of gravity and centroids, moments of inertia of areas. Prerequisites: MAT 272, PHY 151. F . View Course Syllabus
ESC 212 Mechanics II (Dynamics) (3-0) 3 hrs.
This course is the second semester of a two-semester sequence in Engineering Mechanics. It presents the fundamental laws of Newtonian dynamics for particles and rigid bodies, provides a rigorous methodology for solution of problems, and presents a wide variety of examples of application. The course relies heavily on the use of vectors and vector algebra. Subject areas discussed are kinematics of particles including rectilinear, relative and curvilinear motion; kinetics of particles including Newton’s Laws, dynamic equilibrium, angular momentum, work, energy principle, conservation of energy, and impulse-momentum; kinematics of rigid bodies including Newton’s Laws, angular momentum, plane motion, work and energy; introduction to vibrations (time permitting). Prerequisite:ESC 211. S . View Course Syllabus
ESC 213 Strength of Materials (3-0) 3 hrs.
A study of the basic concepts of strength of materials; stress and strain in external loading, shear and torsion; centroids and moments of inertia; shear, moment and stress in beams; load, shear and moment diagrams; design and deflection of beams (statically determinate and indeterminate); combined stresses; welded, bolted and riveted joints; columns. Prerequisite:ESC 211. S . View Course Syllabus
ESC 220 Engineering Design II (2-0) 1 hr.
This course is a continuation of Engineering Design I. It involves the completion of the design that was started in the first course and culminates in the manufacturing of a prototype of the paper design. The students will work in teams. . Team members will include engineering and technology members reflecting a real life industry setting. Prerequisite:ESC 210. S . View Course Syllabus
ESC 222 Electric Circuits (3-2) hrs.
