Engineering Courses

EGR 314 Circuit Analysis II --
Continuation of EGR 214. Topics include: first and second order system transient analysis, Laplace transform analysis, sinusoidal steady state analysis, Bode plots, resonance, first and second order filters, Fourier series and use of computer-aided design software.

EGR 315 Electronic Circuits I --
The design of discrete and integrated electronic circuits. Topics include large and small signal modeling of diodes, bipolar junction transistors and MOS transistors. Biasing, small and large signal amplifier design, feedback, oscillators, and the use of computer-aided design software.

EGR 316 Electronic Circuits II --
A continuation of EGR 315. Topics covered include Bode plots, frequency response of transistor circuits, differential amplifiers, multistage amplifiers, power amplifiers, operational amplifier structures and design, feedback and its implementation, active filters, oscillators, and use of computer-aided design software.

EGR 325 Electromechanics --
A course covering the engineering science and design of electrical to mechanical transducers. Topics include: three-phase circuit analysis and power, magnetic circuit design, solenoids, transformers, DC motors, synchronous alternators and motors, brushless DC motors, stepper motors, and an introduction to dynamic systems analysis.

EGR 340 Electromagnetic Fields --
An intermediate-level study of electricity and magnetism for students of engineering. Vector analysis, electric and magnetic fields and forces. Maxwell's equations for time independent and dependent fields, electromagnetic field waves in free space, waveguides, and transmission lines. Computer applications are included.

EGR 370 Engineering Acoustics --
An introduction to acoustics and control of sound. Propagation of sound in air, enclosures, and architectural structures. Psycho-acoustics and human sensation to sound.

Engineering Music Major --
Information regarding a collaborated degree between the Music and Engineering Departments.
