CAPSTONE DESIGN WITH INDUSTRY

This two-semester course leverages students? previous coursework to address an engineering design problem. Students collaborate in teams on real-world projects sponsored by industry and government. Regular team design meetings, weekly progress reports, interim and final reports, and multiple presentations are required. Prerequisites: EGR220, 270, 290 and at least one 300-level engineering course, or permission of instructor. Co-requisite: EGR410D. (E)

CAPSTONE DESIGN WITH FACULTY

This two-semester course leverages students? previous coursework to address an engineering design problem. Students work on a design project sponsored by an individual member of the engineering faculty. Regular design meetings, progress reports, interim and final reports, and presentations are required. Prerequisites: EGR220, 270, 290 and at least one 300-level engineering course, plus a clear demonstration of intent and a faculty sponsor. Co-requisite: EGR410D.

ENGINEERING DESIGN CLINIC

This two-semester course focuses on the engineering design process and associated professional skills required for careers in engineering. Topics include the engineering design process, project definition, design requirements, project management, concept generation, concept selection, engineering economics, design for sustainability, design for safety and risk reduction, design case studies, teamwork, effective presentations, professional ethics, networking, negotiation, and intellectual property. This class is required of all senior engineering students pursuing the B.S.

ADVANCED TOPICS IN ENGINEERING

Topics course. The understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease all increasingly rely on contributions from engineering. In this course, we will study some of the ways in which engineering is contributing to the study and clinical management of cancer. Students will gain an understanding of the molecular, cellular, and genetic basis of cancer, and use that perspective to consider ways that engineering approaches have been and can be used to study and treat cancer. We will also examine the pathways of getting a new therapeutic or technology approved for clinical use.

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of mechanics of materials from a static failure analysis framework. Structural behavior will be analyzed, along with the material and geometric contributions to this behavior. Lecture topics will be complemented with hands-on project work designed to help students make connections between the theoretical and experimental behavior of materials. Prerequisite: EGR 270.

FLUID MECHANICS

This is the second course in a two-semester sequence designed to introduce students to fundamental theoretical principles and analysis of mechanics of continuous media, including solids and fluids. Concepts and topics to be covered in this course include intensive and extensive thermophysical properties of fluids, control-volume and differential expressions for conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, dimensional analysis, and an introduction to additional topics such as aerodynamics, open-channel flow, and the use of fluid mechanics in the design process. Required concurrent laboratory.

HYDROSYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Through systems analysis and design projects, this course introduces students to the field of water resources engineering. Topics include data collection and analysis, decision-making under uncertainty, the hydrologic cycle, hydropower, irrigation, flood control, water supply, engineering economics, and water law. Prerequisites: MTH 112 or 114, EGR 374 (or permission of the instructor).
