| ES 125 Introduction to Engineering |
FA 1 s.h. |
This course provides an orientation to the profession for students choosing an engineering career. It is divided into three parts. Part one introduces the student to the engineering fields and the engineering profession. Part two introduces the student to the engineering design process. Part three introduces the student to computer aided engineering. Hours of class per week: 1. Hours of lab per week: 2.

| ES 235 Mechanics: Statics |
FA 3 s.h. |
A course designed for sophomore engineering, mathematics, and physics majors. It presents the principles of statics of particles and rigid bodies and indicates the general methods of applying them to the solution of varied engineering problems and develops the analytical ability of the student. Topics covered are vector algebra; forces and equilibrium; structures, plane and space trusses, frames and machines; centroids of lines, areas, and volumes; flexible cables, beams with distributed loads; friction; area moments of inertia and mass moments of inertia. Prerequisites: PH 171, MA 157, and completion of or concurrent registration in MA 158. Hours of class per week: 3.

ES 236 Mechanics: Dynamics |
SP 3 s.h. |
A course designed for sophomore engineering, mathematics, and physics majors. It presents the principles of dynamics of particles and rigid bodies and indicates the general methods of applying them to the solution of varied engineering problems and develops the analytical ability of the student. Topics covered are equations of motion, rectilinear and curvilinear motion, motion relative to translating and rotating axes; work and energy; impulse and momentum; central force motion; simple harmonic motion, damped oscillations and forced oscillations. Prerequisites: PH 171, MA 157158. Hours of class per week: 3.
