EGN - Engineering General

This course introduces students to the use of computer and application software for solving engineering problems by exploring techniques, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. Students identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

This course covers the fundamental concepts of mechanics, including resultants of force systems, free-body diagrams, equilibrium of rigid bodies, analysis of structures, centroids, moments of area and inertia.

This course covers calculations involving particles and rigid bodies in motion. Topics covered include mass and acceleration, work and energy, impulse and momentum.

This course covers axioms of probability, measures of location and dispersion, sampling and sampling distributions, estimations and tests of hypotheses, probability distributions, combinatorial and geometrical probability, and engineering applications of those concepts.

This course provides engineering students with skills to assess the costs and benefits of engineering investments, such as product and technology development programs and capital purchases. It also presents the framework for selecting alternative designs, for managing technologies over their lifecycles, and for evaluating the finances of new ventures/projects.
