Engineering (ENGR)

Professor Littlejohn (Director); Lecturer Alderman (Associate Director); Professors Ruiz and Whatley (Physics)

The Two-Plus-Two Engineering Program, offered jointly by the University of North Carolina at Asheville and North Carolina State University, allows students interested in 13 different engineering fields to complete their first two years of study at UNCA and then transfer to NCSU for the remaining two years. Engineering courses offered during the first two years are taught by NCSU adjunct faculty.

100 Introduction to Engineering (1)
An introduction to the joint university programs, the NCSU College of Engineering, and the engineering profession. (Grading: S/U). Fall.

201 Structure and Properties of Engineering Materials (3)
Introduction to the fundamental physical principles governing the structure and constitution of metallic and nonmetallic materials and the relationships among these principles and the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of engineering materials. Prerequisite: CHEM 132. Fall.

206 Engineering Statics (3)
Basic concepts, forces and equilibrium distributive forces, virtual work and inertial properties; application to machines, structures and systems. Prerequisite: PHYS 221. Corequisite: MATH 291. Fall.

208 Engineering Dynamics (3)
Equations of motions; kinematics, kinetics of mass points and systems of mass points; kinetics and kinematics of rigid bodies. Prerequisite: ENGR 206. Corequisite: MATH 394. Spring.

211 Electric Circuits I (3)
Introduction to analysis and design of electric circuits. Circuit elements and parameters, resistance, capacitance, inductance, impedance, admittance, charge, current, voltage, energy, power. Kirchoff's voltage and current laws. Superposition, periodic functions, RMS values, phasors, resonance, Q, band width. Balanced three-phase systems. DC, AC steady state and transient conditions. Prerequisites: MATH 192; PHYS 221. Corequisites: MATH 291; PHYS 222. Spring.

213 Electric Circuits I Laboratory (1)
Laboratory work on material treated in ENGR 211 emphasizing elementary design principles. Corequisite: ENGR 211. Spring.

314 Solid Mechanics (3)
Stress, strain and constitutive laws; application to axial, torsional and bending stress and deformation; analysis of mechanical components and their strength based on material behavior under static loading conditions. Prerequisite: ENGR 206. Spring.

171-4, 271-4, 371-4, 471-4 Special Topics in Engineering (1-4)
Courses not otherwise included in the catalog listing but for which there may be special needs. May be repeated for credit as often as permitted and as subject matter changes. On demand.
