The transfer paths for engineering may include up to three campus specific courses that student should complete prior to transferring to achieve junior status.
MAE 177: Engineering Drawing and CAD
The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with a 3D modeling CAD software platform, like Creo Parametric. Students will learn basic 3D modelling functions such as extrude, revolve, pattern, sweep, etc. The course will cover integration of individual parts into assemblies. Documenting CAD models through the use of engineering drawings will also be covered.
MAE 204: Thermodynamics
Covers conservation of mass, first and second laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic properties, equilibrium, and their application to physical and chemical systems.
MAE 381: Engineering Materials
Introduces the physics and chemistry of engineering materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Covers the relationships among the processing, internal structure, material properties, and applications. Internal structure includes crystal structure, imperfections, and phases. Processing includes annealing, precipitation hardening, and heat treatment of steel. Properties include mechanical properties and corrosion behavior. Also considers current industrial needs.
EE 202: Circuit Analysis
Systematic development of network analysis methods. Topics include resistive circuits, Kirchhoff's laws, equivalent subcircuits; dependent sources; loop and nodal analysis; energy-storage elements; transient analysis of first-order and second-order circuits; sinusoidal steady-state analysis; passive filters.
EAS 207: Statics
Applies mechanics to studying static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics include composition and resolution of forces, moments and couple, equivalent force systems, free-body diagrams, equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, forces in trusses and beams, friction forces, first and second moments of area, moments and product of inertia, and methods of virtual work and total potential energy.
CE 220: CE Biotechnology Principles
Fundamental principles of biotechnology for chemical engineering majors taught using case studies that trace back from major products to the fundamental biological principles that underlie their use and the bioprocesses by which they are manufactured.
Course Notes: Cell Biology (with lab) is considered an acceptable substitute
200+ Technical Elective
Course Notes: Math, Science, or Engineering course at the sophomore level or above
CIE 177: Civil Engineering CAD
The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with a Civil Engineering CAD software platform (AutoCAD Civil 3D) and reading civil based drawings. Students will also develop the skill to visualize 3D terrains and 3D objects from their 2D projections in order to think in 3D about objects in space. One formal lecture per week, focused on civil and environmental engineering applications of the software will be given. This will be supplemented by multiple tutorials written for the software. Students will be required to complete the tutorials and weekly assignments during laboratory sessions and on their own time.
