This course utilizes the MATLAB environment and commercial electronic spreadsheets to provide students with a working knowledge of computer-based problem-solving methods relevant to science and engineering. It introduces the fundamentals of procedural and object-oriented programming, numerical analysis, and data structures. Examples and assignments in the course are drawn from practical applications in engineering, physics, and mathematics. (C-ID ENGR 220).

Prerequisite: MATH C2210 or MATH C2210E

In this computer-based graphics course, students who have already completed the learning objectives of DFT-2: Engineering Graphics I, will be introduced to more advanced uses of the solid modeling application, SolidWorks. These uses include Simulation of parts using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methodology, Sheet Metal, Weldments, and the concepts of Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing). Students will model parts and will test them using simulation and engineering analysis. Topics within simulation include static, frequency, thermal, vibration and drop test analysis methods. The use of simulation to generate engineering reports will be introduced and reports will be generated. Sheet Metal and Weldments with demonstrations and assignments will incorporate the use within industries such as: Manufacturing, Engineering, Drafting, and Production Assembly.

This course presents the internal structures and resulting behaviors of materials used in engineering applications, including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and semiconductors. The emphasis is upon developing the ability both to select appropriate materials to meet engineering design criteria and to understand the effects of heat, stress, imperfections, and chemical environments upon material properties and performance. Laboratories provide opportunities to directly observe the structures and behaviors discussed in the course, to operate testing equipment, to analyze experimental data, and to prepare reports. (C-ID ENGR 140B).
