EGR Courses

EGR 101 - Introduction to Engineering

An introduction to the interdisciplinary aspects of the engineering of aerospace systems. This is a project-based course demonstrating how aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, civil engineering, and software engineering are combined to produce results. Students are involved in an array of conceptual exercises, simple design activities, and projects dealing with engineering in aerospace related areas. Prerequisite: Enrollment in the common freshman engineering year. 2 credits.

EGR 115 - Introduction to Computing for Engineers

This is an introductory course in programming and computing for scientists and engineers. The course introduces students to the following aspects of software engineering: specification, requirements, design, code, and test. This course uses a problem solving approach for developing algorithms. The following topics will be included: data types and related operations, looping, decision, input/output, functions, arrays, files, and plotting. Prerequisite: Pre-calculus or permission of the instructor. 3 credits.

EGR 120 - Graphical Communications

Freehand pencil sketching and CAD as tools for graphical communication of engineering designs. Standard forms for design graphics and view layout, orthographic projection, section and auxiliary views, dimensioning, tolerancing, introduction to shop processes. Prerequisite: enrollment in an engineering program. 3 credits.
