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 2301   Engineering Mechanics I (3)
This is a common course number. Former course prefix/number EGR 107.
Prerequisite: Credit or concurrent enrollment in Mathematics 2513.
This course is a study of the statics of particles and rigid bodies with vector mathematics in three dimensional space. Topics include the equilibrium of forces and force systems, resultants, free body diagrams, friction, centroids and moments of inertia, virtual works, and potential energy. Distributed forces, centers of gravity, and analysis of structures, beams, and cables are also presented. (3 Lec.)

Academic Courses
Designated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for transfer among community colleges and state public four year colleges and universities as freshman and sophomore general education courses.

WECM Courses
Designated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board as workforce education (technical) courses offered for credit and CEUs (Continuing Education Units). While these courses are designed to transfer among state community colleges, they are not designed to automatically transfer to public four year colleges and universities.
