Engineering Science | | | | ES-138 | | ENGINEERING CONCEPTS | | An orientation course that brings the field of engineering into focus with discussion on past and present engineering trends along with visitation lectures by various local practicing engineers and four-year engineering college transfer representatives. No prerequisite. F, S (N) | | | | ES-139 | | COMPUTER SKILLS FOR ENGINEERS | | A computer lab course for first year students to learn important computer skills related to Engineering using existing computer software such as spreadsheets, word processing, linear regression, graphing, library computer usage, e-mail, and the Internet. No prerequisite. F, S (N) | | | | ES-148 | | ENGINEERING GRAPHICS | | An introductory graphics lab which covers traditional topics including orthographic views, pictorial drawing, auxiliary views, sectioning, dimensioning, and descriptive geometry. No prerequisite. F, S (N) | | | | ES-149 | | CAD LAB FOR ES 148 | | A computer-aided drafting (CAD) lab to augment the principles presented in ES 148 Engineering Graphics. Co-requisite ES 148. F, S (N) | | | | ES-181 | | ENGINERING MATERIALS | | The investigation of materials commonly used in engineering applications. Topics include atomic structure and bonding, strengthening mechanisms such as strain hardening, age hardening and the martensitic transformation, phase diagram interpretation and use, processing such as cold and hot working, and solidification.
