The goal of this lab course is to examine mathematical applications in engineering. MATLAB will be introduced and used in solving these problems. The labs cover linear, quadratic, and systems of equations with circuits; trigonometry and vectors with robot arms; sinusoids with circuits and function generators; derivatives with free-fall motion; integrals with work of springs; and differential equations with dynamic mechanical systems.
ENGR 245 Experimental Methods (2 SH)
This course will cover methods for engineering measurements including design of experiments, data analysis including error and uncertainty, introduction to signal analysis, data acquisition and sampling, and general measurement system behavior. Prerequisite: MATH 154 or MATH 185. (Fall 2025)
ENGR 265 Analog Circuits (4 SH)
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 may include building an AM radio, a homemade op-amp, and PID motor control. Prerequisite: MATH 154 or MATH 185. (Fall 2024)

This course focuses on the concepts and practice of ethics in engineering, computer science, and technological contexts, often through the lens of real-world case studies. Topics include professional codes of ethics, broader ethical theories, impact analysis, the environment, privacy, risk, and other current issues. The interplay among faith, career, and engineering will also be explored in detail. Modes of writing will include both personal reflection and technical analysis. (Spring 2026)

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. Prerequisite: ENGR 380. (Fall 2024Spring 2025)
ENGR 488 Engineering Internship (1-3 SH)
...
A study of the use of differential equations - that is, equations involving both functions and their derivatives - in the construction of mathematical models to address real-world problems. Students will be taught analytical, numerical, and graphical techniques for formulating, solving, and interpreting ordinary differential equations of first and higher order. The emphasis will be on applications to engineering and the physical sciences. Prerequisite: MATH 195. (Fall 2024Spring 2025)
