ENGR 99S How Things Work
Covers how everyday things work and is intended for students in all disciplines. Opportunities are provided for students to experiment with everyday technology in order to discover the principles of science. Mechanical, electrical, biomedical, environmental, and computer systems are explored through experimentation and observation.
Learning Outcomes
- Prepare a scientific analysis of a common technology routinely encountered in the work, school or home environment.
- Demonstrate increased science and technical literacy, including an increased technical vocabulary.
- Develop empirical knowledge based upon analysis of observations, experimentation, and dissection that tests hypotheses.
Objectives
- Formulate hypothesises based on observation, experimentation, and deconstruction.
- Apply scientific principles that are used in technology.
- Break down an application into a set of simpler parts, and explain how the parts function with reference to the application science.
- Judge the effectiveness of technology and formulate new solutions
- Perform research to solve challenging technology problems that require a group effort to complete.

ENGR 45 Engineering Materials
Presents the properties and performance of engineering materials and their relationship to the internal structure of materials. Applies the concepts of material science and engineering in testing materials using laboratory testing equipment. Utilizes analysis techniques in selecting the appropriate materials to meet engineering design criteria. Engineering materials include metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and semiconductors.
PREREQUISITE(S): PHYS 4A and CHEM 1A
Learning Outcomes
- Evaluate the properties of metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and semi-conductors based on the internal structure of the material.
- Demonstrate the ability to operate materials testing equipment to generate the necessary data to formulate the properties of material tested.
- Recommend appropriate material(s) to meet engineering design criteria based on the materials' properties and performance.
Objectives
- Examine the relationship between engineering material properties and internal structure.
- Examine how engineering materials are created, processed, tested, and classified.
- Examine the structure and properties of metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and semi-conductors.
- Perform materials testing including tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, impact, hardness, jominy, fatigue, and creep tests.
- Select appropriate material(s) to meet engineering design criteria based on its properties and performance.
- Write laboratory reports including data analysis, representation, and discussion.
- Work effectively in groups during testing of engineering materials and engineering design project which involve problem solving, report writing, and oral presentations.
