Analytical Mechanics and Vibrations (Advanced Dynamics)
EGR 463 Syllabus S21
The students will learn to use Lagrangian mechanics to solve advanced problems in dynamics and vibrations, and set up the wave equation (ABET outcome 1). They will learn to use MATLAB and other computational tools to solve equations of motion, the wave equation, and model complex systems (ABET 1). Emphasis is on multi-degree of freedom oscillatory systems. Students will solve realistic complex engineering problems (multi DOF vibrating systems) using modern analytical tools (MATLAB and SimMechanics) including a special emphasis on appropriate approximation methods (ABET 1). Students will design vibration isolators (ABET 2).
Sustainable System Design
EGR255 Syllabus S21
Engineering and design practices to make use of natural resources such that environmental impacts are minimized and benefits to human civilization are maximized: survey of renewable energy systems. Design of sustainable energy systems: design of complete photovoltaic systems for grid-tied and off-grid applications. Students will develop an understanding the environmental and natural resource context for sustainable engineering practices (ABET 4, 7). Students will design a grid tied PV system for a US residence within appropriate constraints (1, 2, 7). Students will design a standalone PV system for a developing world application within appropriate constraints (1, 2, 7).
Dynamics (Applied Mechanics – Moving Systems)
EGR360 DeGoedeK F2019
Newtonian mechanics of particles, a system of particles and of rigid bodies in fixed and moving reference frames in three dimensions. Topics include energy and momentum concepts, Euler’s equations, and the simple oscillator. With applications to mechanical systems.
Controls Lab
EGR 410L DeGoede S19
Design and analysis of continuous time-domain control systems using system modeling techniques, simulation software and physical systems (plants) for control algorithms. Evaluation of control system performance and design criteria including feedback, stability, sensitivity, time and frequency response.
Engineering Design
EGR391 Multiple Faculty S18
This course explores design methodology and practice under the supervision of the instructor. Project reports including a final report and presentation are required. Hours: lecture 1 and project work. For most students, this project will become the senior project completed through EGR491 and/or EGR492.
Capstone Project
EGR491, EGR492 Faculty, multiple S19
A demanding, and perhaps original, engineering project performed under close supervision of a faculty member. The project must include design processes with appropriate constraints and use of standards. The scope of the project typically includes detail and final design work and construction of a working prototype. Progress reports, a final report, and a public seminar are required.
Community-Based Project
EGR 291Batista DeGoede S19
An engineering project performed in small teams under the supervision of the instructor. Progress reports and a final report and presentation are required. Signature Learning Experience: Community-Based Learning. In this course we get to live out the College’s motto – Educate for Service. You will use your engineering knowledge and skills to help others and, in the process, gain a deeper understanding of what it means to identify and solve problems with a real client.
Mathematical Foundations for Engineering and Physics
PHY120 DeGoedeK F2018
Prepare students for success in the engineering curriculum by (1) developing a
foundation in applied mathematics. Students will (2) master essential analytical skills prerequisite for the study of calculus, physics and engineering science. Students will (3) develop proficiency in Matlab, and the study skills required throughout the engineering curriculum. (ABET Outcomes 1 and 7).
Introduction to Engineering
EGR 192 S18 syllabus
Introduction to the development of mathematical techniques for engineering applications including MATLAB and statistics. Also, a study of engineering ethics, and written and oral technical communication. Continued exploration of the engineering design process, including a design‐and‐build project.
Engineering Seminar
EGR396 Syllabus
Seminar series with weekly presentations of topics of current interest in
engineering. Speakers include practicing engineers and researchers from industry
or other academic institutions, Elizabethtown faculty, and senior-level
Elizabethtown students
