Students will participate in a design project that requires engineering solutions but also includes elements outside of the traditional STEM framework.  Students will be taught strategies to ensure that solutions meet the user\'s broad needs.  A variety of basic skills will be introduced such as fabrication and computer modelling.  Students will also explore pathways to engineering careers through guest speakers, and skills in resume writing and networking will also be developed.</p><p><strong>ENGR-210TR Engineer Statics Transfer (1-4 Credits)</strong><br/></p><p><strong>ENGR-290 Experimentation and Design (4 Credits)</strong><br/>This is the second core project course for engineering students. It focuses on the interplay between the design process and experimental testing. The &quot;project&quot; for the course will be to imagine multiple designs in response to an engineering problem, and then test and rework those designs. In the process, the course will address all phases of the experimental process: designing a test, creating an experimental setup, building and calibrating sensors, taking data, analyzing data (including statistical analysis), iterating our design, and reporting our results. A significant focus of the course will be on written and oral communication.  Prerequisite: ENGR-190 and PHYS-200</p><p><strong>ENGR-310 Engineering Statics (2 Credits)</strong><br/>Forces, moments, couples, equipollent systems, distributed forces, equilibrium analysis, trusses, methods of joint and sections, shear-force and bending-moment diagrams, coulomb friction, centroids and center-of-mass. (Offered in alternate years) Prerequisite: PHYS-211, Co-requisite: MATH-260.</p><p><strong>ENGR-311 Mechanics of Deformable Bodies (2 Credits)</strong><br/>Mechanics of Deformable Bodies deals with the forces and moments created within a structural piece. 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: MATH-320 and ENGR-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-351 Comp Fluid Dyn & Heat Transfer (2 Credits)</strong><br/>This course provides an introduction to the foundations of computational fluid dynamics (and heat transfer) as well as to its application to engineering problems. The course will focus on hands-on work: the assignments for the course will involve both coding basic CFD program algorithms and using commercially available CFD code to solve more complex problems.  Prerequisites: ENGR-320 and PHYS-200 Corequisite or Prerequisite: ENGR-321</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.

Additional prerequisites may apply depending on the topic.</p><p><strong>ENGR-390 Junior Design Experience (4 Credits)</strong><br/>This is the third Project course for engineering students. It focuses on the design, implementation, and evaluation of an automated system. In doing so, the course will provide an introduction to actuation systems, interfaces between sensors and mechanical devices, and logical controls. In the course of the term, each project group will design, build and test an automated device. The group will then present their device to the class, and each group will be in charge of evaluating and providing feedback on another group\'s project.  Prerequisite: ENGR-290</p><p><strong>ENGR-393 International Study Colloquium (3-4 Credits)</strong><br/></p><p><strong>ENGR-490 Senior Design I (2 Credits)</strong><br/>This course is part of the fourth Project course for engineering students. ENGR 490 is the first course in a two-semester sequence, which serves as the Senior Inquiry project for BSE students. The ENGR 490/491 sequence also fulfills the ABET degree requirement for &quot;a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.&quot; In this first part of the course, students will complete the exploratory part of the design process: researching related solutions, determining potential economic, environmental, and safety issues, determining product specifications and functions, performing a market analysis, conceiving of a concept product, and detailing your initial design.  Prerequisite: ENGR-390</p><p><strong>ENGR-491 Senior Design II (2 Credits)</strong><br/>This course is part of the fourth Project course for engineering students. ENGR 491 is the second course in a two-semester sequence, which serves as the Senior Inquiry project for BSE students. The ENGR 490/491 sequence also fulfills the ABET degree requirement for &quot;a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints.&quot; In this second part of the course, students create a physical prototype, test the prototype, and iterate the design.
