Engineering 1310 Page 1SyllabusPURPOSE OF EGR 1310The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the engineering profession. Your professors seek toanswer the questions common to new engineering students: What is engineering? What do engineers do in their profession? What are the different types of engineering? What is the difference between science and engineering? In order to best answer these questions, the student will be immersed in engineering through a multitude of lectures, hands-on laboratories, homework and reading assignments. Furthermore, the important concept ofengineering design will be introduced through a semester-long, iterative design project involving group brainstorming, hand calculations, computer analysis, fabrication, and laboratory testing.To achieve this purpose, students will study:- Introduction to solid mechanics to analyze truss structures and predict failure loads and locations;- Introduction to fluid mechanics to determine drag coefficients and apply these to engineering problems such as drag on automobiles or submarines;- Ethical systems, including respect-for-persons ethics, utilitarian ethics, and Christian ethics and to apply all three to moral dilemmas in the practice of engineering;- The binary number system, gates, and combinational logic;- The basics of electrical circuits such as voltage, current, power, and charge;- The analysis and use of energy in the accomplishment of work in various engineering applications including a tour of the Baylor University Power Plant;- Methods of energy production, storage, and transfer;On completion of the course, students will also be able to:- Clearly explain what engineers do and how it differs from what scientists do;- Describe the three engineering majors at Baylor: mechanical, electrical & computer, and engineering;- Understand the concept of vocation;- Clearly picture the engineering profession in order to make an informed vocational decision;- Understand time management principles and study strategies and develop these principles into personal habits that will help to succeed in college and life;- Understand and apply principles of teaming and team-based creative engineering problem solving;- Understand and apply the engineering design process.Engineering 1310 Page 2Syllabus Grade Calculation: Your final average will be calculated using the weights below.
