DYNAMICS
3.0 Units
ENGR 230 covers the fundamentals of kine-
matics and kinetics of particles and rigid
bodies. Topics include: kinematics of particle
motion; Newton’s second law, work-energy
and momentum methods; kinematics of
planar motions of rigid bodies; work-energy
and momentum principles for rigid body
motion as well as an introduction to mechani-
cal vibrations. Lecture 3 hours. Prerequisite:
ENGR 152 or equivalent. Course Typically
Offered: Fall (Even Years Only) Transfer

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
FUNDAMENTALS
4.0 Units
ENGR 240 is an introduction to the theory
and analysis of electrical circuits; basic
circuit elements including the operational
amplifier; circuit theorems; direct current
circuits; forced and natural responses of
simple circuits; sinusoidal steady state analy- 131, or equivalent, or consent of instructor. hours. Prerequisite: Placement is based on
sis and the use of a standard computer-aided
circuit analysis program. Consideration is
given to power, energy, impedance, phasors,
frequency response and their use in circuit
design. Lecture 3 hours/Laboratory 3 hours.
Prerequisite: PHY 102 and MATH 105.
Corequisite: MATH 108. Course Typically

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
3.0 Units
ENGR 241 is the application of mechanics
to determine the effect of forces and torques
on materials. Students apply this knowledge
to the design of load bearing components.
The course covers the following topics:
stress, strain, axial loading, torsion, flexural ideas and evidence taken from the readings.
stresses, transverse shear stress, horizontal
shear stresses, stress transformations, Mohr’s
circle, thin-walled pressure vessels, ductile
and brittle failure theories, shear and bend-
ing moment diagrams, stresses in a beam,
methods of superposition, and elastic strain
energy. Statically indeterminate systems
are studied using Castigliano’s theorem.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH IN
ENGINEERING I
3.0 Units
ENGR 298 is the first of a two-course series
intended to simulate a real-world design
experience via an interdisciplinary project
in a team-based environment. It introduces
the student to the design and prototype
development phase of an in-depth engineer-
ing design process requiring integration of
multiple systems. Students from a variety
of disciplines conceive, design and begin
to prototype a system involving electrical,
information, and mechanical engineering
components. Emphasis is placed on written
and oral communication skills as students
set project goals, manage interfaces between
component subsystems, work in design
teams, track progress against tasks, write
detailed documentation, and deliver design
review presentations. Students are expected
to apply knowledge from prerequisite and
recommended preparation courses in the
design and implementation of their proj-
ect. Lecture 1 hour/Laboratory 6 hours.
Prerequisite: ENGR 109, ENGR 111, ENGR

WRITING WORKSHOP
4.0 Units
NON-DEGREE APPLICABLE
ENGL 100 is designed for students who need
to practice the basics of analytical reading, composition that begins to prepare students
summary, and argumentative writing in
preparation for English 101+. Conducted as
a collaborative writing workshop, the class
involves analytical reading and discussion of and writing by applying a variety of strate-
contemporary articles and stories. Composi-
tions are readings-based, incorporating main
The course helps students increase their
familiarity with the style and organization
of written, academic English and improves
their ability to compose, edit, and revise
sentences, paragraphs, and essay-length
compositions. Finally, students learn basic
grammar, sentence forms, and proofread-
ing techniques. Note: Pass/No Pass Only.
Lecture 4 hours. Prerequisite: Placement is
based on academic background.

INTRODUCTION TO COLLEGE
READING AND COMPOSITION
4.0 Units
ENGL 101 is an introduction to college
composition that begins to prepare students
for writing in the university setting and for
a variety of contexts beyond the classroom.
Students practice critical thinking, reading,
and writing by applying a variety of strate-
gies. Through reading and discussion of
selected works, students learn to identify
arguments and analyze texts for purpose,
audience, context, and overall composition.
Through writing, students contribute to an
academic conversation and learn to position
their ideas in relation to the ideas of others.
Students also develop skills in argumenta-
tion, source integration, analysis of evidence,
college-level research methods, information
literacy, and citing according to academic
conventions. In the writing process, students
learn to generate original ideas through
writing and to revise their work according
to audience expectations. Note: Students
attempting English 101 for third time will be
required to enroll in English 101+. Lecture 4
