ENGR 1201   Engineering Analysis (2)
This is a common course number. Former course prefix/number EGR 101.
Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra or Developmental Mathematics 0093 or demonstrated competence approved by the instructor.
A mathematical scheme of analysis appropriate in engineering design is presented. Topics include natural quantities, vectors, Newton's laws, work, energy, first law of thermodynamics, information, dimensional analysis, physical modeling, compatibility, continuity, and interpretation of analytic results. Computer programming is taught and used in processing information for analysis. (2 Lec.)
Coordinating Board Academic Approval Number 1401015110

ENGR 1304   Engineering Design Graphics (3)
This is a common course number. Former course prefix/number EGR 105.
Prerequisite: Engineering 1201 or Mathematics 1316 or demonstrated competence approved by the instructor.
Graphic fundamentals are presented for engineering communications and engineering design. A rational engineering design procedure is taught and computer aided design is introduced. Graphical topics include geometric construction, geometric modeling, orthographic drawing system, auxiliaries, sections, dimensions and tolerances, graphical analysis, pictorial and working drawings. (2 Lec., 4 Lab.)
Coordinating Board Academic Approval Number 4801015102

ENGR 1305   Descriptive Geometry (3)
This is a common course number. Former course prefix/number EGR 106.
Prerequisite: Engineering 1304.
This course provides instruction in the visualization of three dimensional structures and computer transformations of geometric models. Emphasis is on accurately representing these structures in drawings by analyzing the true relationship between points, lines, and planes.
