ERG 211 Introduction to Materials Science -
This course explores the fundamental properties of engineering materials utilizing micro and macro methods of material design. Students learn the atomic structures, chemical properties, and physical behavior of engineering materials, including biomaterials. Credits: 3
Prerequisites: CHM 123, PHY 105 Semester Offered: F/SU

ERG 221 Statics -
This course covers a vector approach in studying static systems. Areas of study include the resultant of concentrated and distributed force systems, two and three-dimensional equilibrium, trusses, plane friction, centeroids, and moments of inertia. Students learn how to use integral equations to determine centeroids and moments of inertia for various geometrical shapes and derive and graph equations of shear and moment. Credits: 3
Prerequisites: PHY 105 Corequisites: MAT 235 Semester Offered: F/IN

ERG 223 Thermodynamics -
This course introduces the laws of thermodynamics through the study of systems and the flow of energy across system boundaries. Students learn the First Law of Thermodynamics (utilizing heat, energy, work, enthalpy) and the Second Law of Thermodynamics (and the property of entropy) and their macroscopic and microscopic implications. The course focuses on the application of thermodynamics to engineering systems. Credits: 3
Prerequisites: CHM 124, MAT 235, PHY 107 Semester Offered: S/SU

ERG 225 Strength of Materials -
This course emphasizes stress and strain and the mechanical properties of materials. Topics include axial load, torsion, bending and deflection of beams, Hooke's Law, Mohr's circle, transfer shear, combined loading, stress, strain transformation, design of beams, and buckling of columns. Students use integral and differential equations to solve problems in design of beams and structures. Credits: 3
Prerequisites: ERG 221, MAT 235 Corequisites: MAT 238 Semester Offered: S/SU

ERG 280 Engineering Computation and Modeling -
This course explores the application of mathematical models in engineering and biological engineering phenomena. Students use mathematical computational software to create, solve and analyze the results of the models. Students present, in the classroom, the effects of the project on engineering projects, the environment, and life forms in general. Classroom discussion topics include: computer hardware; software; architecture; programming; functions; matrices; plotting; logical functions; selection structures; repetition structures; arrays; numerical techniques; solving equations and systems of equations; creating files; numerical differentiation and integration; and solving differential equations numerically.
