An introduction to the design of analog circuits, with an emphasis on hands-on implementation in laboratory exercises in addition to mathematical analysis. The course covers essential circuit components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, and op-amps. A variety of passive and active circuits are studied, including filters, integrators, comparators, and amplifiers. Projects include building an AM radio, a homemade op-amp, and PID motor control. Prerequisite: MATH 154 or MATH 185. (Fall 20222024)

Dynamics is the study of accelerated motion of a body through two perspectives, kinematics (geometric aspects of the motion) and kinetics (forces causing the motion). Kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies will be examined using methods of force and acceleration, work and energy, and impulse and momentum. Prerequisite: ENGR 270. (Fall 20222024)
ENGR 291 Engineering Design II (2 SH)
...
A survey course on principles and applications of engineering thermodynamics. Topics include First and Second Laws, thermodynamic properties, energy cycles, control volumes, entropy, and efficiency. Applications include refrigeration and heat pumps, nozzles and diffusers, turbines, compressors, pumps, engines, power generation, psychrometrics, and combustion. Prerequisites: MATH 286 Vector Calculus, PHYS 262 University Physics II Lecture, and CHEM 223 General Chemistry I, or permission of instructor. (Fall 20222024)
ENGR 350 Fluid Mechanics (4 SH)
...
This course introduces analysis and design of control systems. Differential equations and transfer functions will be used for modeling of dynamical systems. Stability, tracking, regulation, and sensitivity will be discussed for both open-loop and close-loop structures. The proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) control will be introduced. Root locus, frequency response, and state-variable feedback methods will be presented for feedback control design. Prerequisites: ENGR 380. (Fall 20222024)
