So while Statics focuses on how an engineered structure will function, this course analyzes the structural strength and resilience of a single object (such as a beam). The topics needed to gain this understanding include stress, strain, bending, torsion, buckling, and deflection.  Prerequisite: ENGR-310</p><p><strong>ENGR-315 Ethics in Engineering (4 Credits)</strong><br/>(PH) This course traces 20th century German and Swiss scientific and technological ideas, institutions, achievements, and events of the past, both in relation to one another and in relation to the present.  Students will explore ethical decision-making using historical, scientific discoveries, institutions, and achievements as case studies.  Students will also develop a personal ethical framework with which to analyze and make ethical decisions and incorporate others\' perspectives into their decision-making process. We will also examine how science and other disciplines have been funded and the biases that continue to exist.</p><p><strong>ENGR-315A Ethics in Engineering (2 Credits)</strong><br/>A course in ethics accessible to all majors that supports the Alps program. Students will explore ethical decision-making using  historical, scientific discoveries, institutions, and achievements as case studies.    Approved for one semester only</p><p><strong>ENGR-320 Fluid Mechanics (4 Credits)</strong><br/>This course introduces the principles of fluid mechanics: students will investigate the characteristics of fluid behavior in static and flow environments using a range of different approaches. Because it is important to develop an intuition about these physical processes, the course will stress understanding the fundamental concepts and theoretical underpinnings of fluid mechanics in addition to the application of equations to practical problems.  Prerequisite: MATH-260 and PHYS-211</p><p><strong>ENGR-321 Heat Transfer (2 Credits)</strong><br/>This course introduces the principles of heat transfer by conduction, convection, and radiation. Because it is important to develop your intuition about these physical processes, the course will stress understanding the fundamental concepts and theoretical underpinnings of heat transfer in addition to the application of equations to practical problems.  Prerequisite: ENGR-320. Suggested: MATH-320.</p><p><strong>ENGR-330 Structural Engineering (4 Credits)</strong><br/>Structural Engineering concerns itself with the durability and suitability of built structures, from buildings to bridges to transmission lines. Every structure experiences a range of loads: gravity, wind, temperature changes, and earth movement, among others. In constructing a structure, it is crucial to identify these loads and understand how the structure will respond to these loads. So the structural engineer must determine the materials to be used in structural members as well as their arrangement; in addition, the engineer must be able to define an assembly process and monitor not only this process but the continued health of the structure over its lifetime. This course will provide an introduction to these aspects of structural engineering.  Prerequisite: ENGR-311 and MATH-260</p><p><strong>ENGR-331 Geotechnical Engineering (4 Credits)</strong><br/>Geotechnical engineering concerns itself with the interaction of built structure with the landscape, so it involves understanding the nature of natural materials that are found close to the earth\'s surface (i.e. soil and rock). The practical applications of geotechnical engineering include the design of structural foundations, as well as the design of retaining walls and shaped landscapes. This course provides an introduction to this field, which is a crucial tool for civil and environmental engineers in particular.  Prerequisites: ENGR-311 and MATH-260</p><p><strong>ENGR-340 Principles of Environmental Engineering (4 Credits)</strong><br/>This course aims to introduce you to the principles of environmental engineering through both theory and field work. In this context, &quot;theory&quot; entails models of chemical, physical, or biological processes relevant in environmental settings; &quot;field work&quot; entails lab analyses of water samples taken from the Slough. The practicing environmental engineer needs a solid background in both modeling and field work, which is why this course emphasizes both endeavors equally. Additionally, the ability to understand and draw conclusions from environmental time series data has become an increasingly important skill for the environmental engineer in the age of the Anthropocene. As such, students will learn important techniques for analyzing trends in environmental time series data and apply these techniques to the field data collected throughout the semester.</p><p><strong>ENGR-375 Engineering Design (4 Credits)</strong><br/>The fundamentals of mechanical design, including pressure vessels, fasteners, teamwork, model and prototype building. In-class, hands-on work with computer-aided design (CAD) software and parametric modeling of associative models at the component and assembly levels. (Offered in alternate years). Prerequisite: ENDE-190 and ENGR-311, or permission of instructor.</p><p><strong>ENGR-380 Advanced Topics in Engineering (4 Credits)</strong><br/>This course will cover an advanced topic in engineering; topic will be determined each year based on student and faculty input. Possible topics include advanced design, signal processing, RF electronics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. (Offered in alternate years) Prerequisites: MATH-160. Additional prerequisites may apply depending on the topic.</p><p><strong>ENGR-381 Quantum Engineer & Photonics (4 Credits)</strong><br/>This course will begin with the physics and engineering of classical optical fields but concentrate on the generation, manipulation, and measurement of single and entangled photons in the context of quantum information. Topics covered will include fundamental properties of optical fields (coherence, interference, polarization, Fourier relations, propagation through fibers and waveguides, and detection), quantum optical generation (SPDC, SFWM), properties of quantum states, entanglement, quantum state tomography, teleportation, quantum key distribution, and quantum repeaters. Besides solving typical quantum information problems analytically, students will use numerical simulation to investigate complicated problems and to more deeply probe intuition. Prerequisite: MATH 260. Recommended: PHYS 213.</p><p><strong>ENGR-385 Computational Engineering (4 Credits)</strong><br/>This course introduces the tools and processes for the computational analysis of fluid and solid mechanics problems. commonly known as CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and finite element, respectively. The course will focus on hands-on work, but aims to ground this work in a solid understanding of both the physical phenomenon being modelled and the mathematical foundations for CFD and finite element. Prerequisite: ENGR 311 and ENGR 320</p><p><strong>ENGR-386 Vibrations (4 Credits)</strong><br/>Vibrations are present in many engineering systems, including buildings, bridges, vehicles, machines, and mechanical components. Understanding how structures and mechanical systems respond to dynamic loads is essential for safe and efficient engineering design. This course introduces the fundamental principles of vibration analysis, emphasizing the modeling and analysis of single-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) systems. Through analytical modeling, numerical methods, and engineering applications, students will develop the tools necessary to understand and predict the dynamic behavior of engineering systems.
