Engineering Science - Course Descriptions

ES 201 Conservation & Accounting Principles 4R-0L-4C F,W
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: EM 121, and MA 113, and PH 111
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

A common framework for engineering analysis is developed using the concepts of a system, accounting and conservation of extensive properties, constitutive relations, constraints, and modeling assumptions. Conservation equations for mass, charge, momentum and energy, and an entropy accounting equation are developed. Applications taken from all engineering disciplines stress constructing solutions from basic principles.
ES 202 Fluid Systems 2 2/3R-1L-3C W,S
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: ES 201 with a grade of C or better
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Extend the conservation and accounting framework to examine fluid motion. Topics include dimensional analysis, pressure variation in both stationary and moving fluids, viscous effects including boundary layers, laminar and turbulent flow. Applications include lift and drag, pipe flow, compressible flow. Fundamental concepts are enriched by laboratory experiences.
ES 203 Electrical Systems 3R-3L-4C F,W,S
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: MA 113, and PH 112, and EM 121 or EM 120
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Circuit elements, Kirchhoff's laws, equivalent circuits, voltage and current dividers, and analysis techniques for both DC and the phasor domain. AC circuits and power. Operational amplifiers. Integral laboratory.
ES 204 Mechanical Systems 2 2/3R-1L-3C W,S
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: BE 100 or ENGD 120 or CSSE 120, and ENGD 215
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Conservation and accounting equations applied to mechanical systems. Kinematics and kinetics of particles in space and of rigid bodies in plane motion.
ES 205 Analysis & Design of Engineering Systems 3R-3L-4C S,F
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: ES 213, and ES 213L or ECE 203 or ENGD 120, and ES 214, and MA 222
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Conservation and accounting principles are used to model engineering systems comprising mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal elements. Dynamic behavior and performance criteria are characterized in the time and frequency domains. Topics include block diagrams, deriving and solving differential equations of motion, experimental parameter identification and model validation, teaming, and reporting engineering results.

Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: ES 201 With a grade of C or higher
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Extend the conservation and accounting framework to examine fluid motion. Topics include dimensional analysis, pressure variation in both stationary and moving fluids, viscous effects including boundary layers, laminar and turbulent flow, and compressibility effects. Applications include similitude, lift and drag, pipe flow, nozzle and diffuser flow. Fundamental concepts are enriched by laboratory experiences.
