Undergraduate Research Engineering Courses

ENGR 201 Materials Science for Engineers

This class is an introduction to materials science that includes several labs in which students will practice materials analysis, materials processing, and fabrication techniques. Students will apply loads to structures using a universal testing machine, analyze the melting and curing of materials using a differential scanning calorimeter, and perform grain analysis using optical microscopy in a laboratory setting.

ENGR 202 Digital Circuits

This class is an introduction to basic digital and logic circuits with a focus on the design and analysis of combinational and sequential logic circuits. Students use Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as programmable logic boards. Students program the boards using the Verilog hardware description language, and implement the designs in the Vivado Design Software.

ENGR& 204 Electrical Circuits with Lab

This class is an introduction to electrical engineering. Students apply the principles of circuit analysis in a laboratory setting by using oscilloscopes and multimeters to analyze circuits that contain resistors, capacitors, inductors, and op amps.

ENGR& 225 Mechanics of Materials

Students learn about mechanics of solids, including the relationship between stress and strain and how materials deform under load. Students will apply loads to structures using a universal testing machine just like those used in industry.
