Course Descriptions


 

Engineering

  
  • EGG 100 - Introduction to Engineering


    1 Credit

    Introduces the math and science required in a variety of engineering disciplines. The particular engineering disciplines examined are: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Computer Science. For each discipline the course will examine certification requirements, program of study, types of work and tasks in each discipline and compensation ranges. Tours and speakers will be arranged.

    Prerequisite(s): CCR 092  (or higher) or equivalent and MAT 050 /MAT 055  or equivalent.

  
  • EGG 101 - Engineering Graphics I


    3 Credits

    Provides an application of engineering graphics as a communication form and a tool to solve three-dimensional design problems. Topics include: Orthographic, axonometric, and isometric projections, sections and auxiliary views, the geometry of lines, planes, and curved surfaces. This course is an introduction to PC-based, menu driven, 3D Computer Aided Design Systems, Spreadsheets, and Freehand Drawing.

    Prerequisite(s): MAT 121  or MAT 122  with a grade of “C” or better or equivalent placement scores.

  
  • EGG 105 - Logic Design


    4 Credits
