This page gives a list of those technical courses that are offered by other departments that are required by the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering to get the B.S.A.E. degree.
MATH 10550 - 10560 Calculus I and II
(3-1-4) (3-1-4)
For students in science and engineering.
Topics include sets, functions, limits and continuity, derivatives integrals
and applications. Also covered are transcendental functions and their inverses,
infinite sequences and series, parameterized curves in the plane and polar coordinates.
MATH 20550 Calculus
III
(3-1-3.5)
Prerequisite: MATH 10560 or equivalent.
A comprehensive treatment of differential and integral calculus of several variables.
Topics include space curves, surfaces, functions of several variables, partial
derivatives, multiple integrals, line integrals, surface integrals, Stokes'
theorem and applications.
MATH 20580 Introduction
to Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
(3-1-3.5)
Prerequisite: MATH 20610 .
An introduction to linear algebra and to first- and second-order differential
equations. Topics include elementary matrices, LU factorization, QR
factorization, the matrix of a linear transformation, change of basis, eigenvalues
and eigenvectors, solving first-order differential equations and second-order
linear differential equations, and initial value problems.
Chemistry
CHEM 10121 - 10122 General Chemistry: Fundamental Principles and Biological Processes
(3-3-4) (3-3-4)
Prerequisites: High school chemistry and physics, three-and-one-half
units of mathematics.
Designed for first-year students intending to major in engineering. In the first semester, the fundamental principles of chemistry are presented including atomic and molecular structure, molecular properties, periodic trends in reactivity, solution chemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics. Quantitative aspects are stressed. A laboratory is offered with this part of the course. In the second semester, these topics are woven into key themes of modern biology, including protein structure and function, gene structure and manipulation, and basics of biotechnology. Emphasis is placed on common themes rather than biological details, and examples are drawn from biological systems of interest to engineers. This course will serve as a prerequisite course to all upper-level courses which list CHEM 10118 or CHEM 10126 as a prerequisite.
PHYS 10310 - 10320
General Physics I and II
(4-1-4) (4-1-4)
Prerequisites for PHYS 10310 : High school chemistry and physics and three
-and-one-half units of mathematics.
Corequisite for PHYS 10310 MATH 10550 or equivalent.
Prerequisites for PHYS 10320 : PHYS 10310 , and MATH 10550.
Corequisite for PHYS 132 MATH 10560 or equivalent.
A two-semester sequence in general physics. Topics include the kinematics and
mechanics of a particle; work, energy and momentum, and associated conservation
laws; rotation, torque and angular momentum; oscillations and wave motions;
electrostatics, electric current and circuits; magnetism, electromagnetic induction
and waves; geometrical optics. A course designed for students of science and
engineering. Laboratory meetings in alternating weeks only. Weekly tutorial
sessions.
EG 10111 Introduction
to Engineering Systems I
(3-0-3)
Prerequisite: First-year standing.
The first of a two-part sequence intended to introduce engineering to First
Year intents and to establish a foundation for their studies in any of the engineering
disciplines. Team-oriented design projects are used to provide a multidisciplinary
view of engineering systems and to present the engineering method. Structured
programming is introduced, and computing skills are developed for engineering
analysis, synthesis and technical communication.
EG 10112 Introduction
to Engineering Systems II
(3-0-3)
Prerequisite: First-year standing.
The second of a two-course sequence intended to continue the introduction of
First Year intents to the engineering disciplines. Multidisciplinary projects
are used to illustrate the application of engineering modeling, analysis and
design principles to solve a variety of practical problems. The projects are
intended to span areas of interest in all departments of the College of Engineering.
Structured programming and software skills are further developed.
