Engineering Systems
This course focuses on the mathematical modeling and analysis of lumped-element physical systems, including translational and rotational mechanical systems, electrical systems, heat transfer systems, and fluid systems. You’ll learn concepts of flow, effort, and impedance and engage in labs that focus on modeling and simulation, design, and software skill development.
Introduction to Engineering
Get a hands-on overview of the tools you’ll engage with throughout engineering classes, including methodology tools, analytical tools, software tools, and hardware tools. Get a framework for your engineering studies ahead through practical hands-on experiences, including a group hardware project.
Introduction to Circuits & Electronics
The first course you’ll take in electric circuits, you’ll be introduced to DC, time-dependent, and AC circuits. Engage in a weekly lab involving basic electronic devices and common test equipment. A course project gives students the opportunity to create, build, and test a custom printed circuit board (PCB) circuit.
Junior Engineering Project
During this semester-long engineering project, you'll practice the elements of the design process, innovation and creativity, problem solving, the application of analytical and software tools, and effective communication. There is a special emphasis on the thoughtful design process. Major projects have included robotics, virtual reality, and satellite development.
Senior Capstone
A three-course experience designed to prepare for professional engineering work through a year-long student-driven project. Teams are multidisciplinary and apply theory to hands-on projects. They engage in preparation, design, documentation, and presentation of their work. You'll learn to apply the knowledge and skills learned in earlier course work, incorporate standards and constraints to their project, and consider how to use these skills to serve God and humanity.
