ENGR 1010 Introduction to Engineering: 1 semester hour

This course, required of all new Freshman with an interest in Engineering, is designed to assist students in their transition to the university experience and to UMSL by giving students the knowledge and tools needed to succeed as scholars. Students will learn about faculty expectations, support services, and student life, as well as engineering.

ENGR 1414 Elementary Engineering Design: 2 semester hours

Prerequisites: MATH 1030 and MATH 1035, or MATH 1045, or a satisfactory score on the UMSL Math Placement Examination, obtained at most one year prior to enrollment in this course, or consent of instructor. The course presents fundamental concepts and processes (project planning, design practices, teamwork, innovation, and systems integration) involved in designing engineering systems as it relates to civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Students work in teams either as competing design teams or complementary sub-system design teams to apply the concepts to design, build, and test series of engineering projects. The students will submit a design report and give a project presentation at the end of semester.

ENGR 2310 Statics: 3 semester hours

Prerequisites: MATH 1900 and PHYSICS 2111. Statics of particles and rigid bodies. Equivalent systems of forces. Distributed forces; centroids. Applications to trusses, frames, machines, beams, and cables. Friction. Moments of inertia. Principle of virtual work and applications.

ENGR 2320 Dynamics: 3 semester hours

Prerequisites: MATH 2000 and ENGR 2310. Review of vector algebra and calculus. Kinematics of a particle. Newton's laws and the kinetics of a particle. Work and energy. Impulse and momentum. Kinematics of rigid bodies. General theorems for systems of particles. Kinetics of rigid bodies. The inertia tensor.
