ENGR 4320 System Dynamics and Control

System Dynamics and Control: Engineering students in this course will gain professional level of education in the mathematics of system dynamics and control. Students will have the opportunity to apply their skill in two projects during the semester that focus on modeling a physical system and applying control theory to achieve a desired behavior. Topics include: Linear Ordinary Differential Equations, System Dynamics, Laplace Transforms, Mechanical Systems, System Modeling, Control System Design in the time domain and frequency domain. Prerequisite.

ENGR 4330 Engineering Electromagnetics

This course covers the fundamentals of applied electromagnetics by emphasizing physical understanding and practical applications in Engineering Science. It deals with the study of static electric fields in vacuum and dielectrics, conductors, capacitance, electrostatic energy and forces, Poisson’s equation, static magnetic fields, Biot-Savart law, Ampere’s law, vector magnetic potential, inductance, Maxwell’s equations for time varying fields, Faraday’s law, plan wave propagation, time-harmonic fields, propagation in lossless media, and wave reflection and transmission at normal incidence. The bridge between electric circuits and electromagnetics is done through the study of transmission lines and their lumped-element model, transmission line input impedance, and power flow on lossless transmission line. Prerequisite(s): PHYS 2422 and MATH 2330 or by permission of the instructor. Lab fee.

ENGR 4350 Fluid Mechanics

This course covers the fundamentals of applied Fluid Mechanics by emphasizing physical understanding and practical applications in Engineering Science. It deals with the study of and the practical applications in Engineering Science. It deals with the study of and the practical application of the conversation equations for mass, momentum, and energy. In addition the course covers the fundamental concepts of hydrostatics and dynamics of Newtonian fluids, using Bernoulli’s and Navier-Stokes equations. Additional topics include: control volume analysis, basic flow differential analysis, potential flow, and viscous incompressible flow. Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2321, MATH 2330 and PHYS 2422 or by permission of the instructor. Lab fee.

ENGR 4370 Computer Science & Engineering Ethics Seminar

The capstone course for all CSE majors begins with discussions of the ethical impact of computer science and engineering on the human condition as well as more general questions concerning the impact of technology on society. From a distinctively Christian perspective, students will examine several philosophical systems of ethics with the stated purpose of examining the social and ethical responsibilities of CSE professionals. In light of all class discussions, students employ techniques to design and implement a hardware/software solution for a current volunteer project of Computer Science and Engineering. (Same as CISC 4370) Prerequisite: Junior-standing CSE major. Lab fee.

ENGR 4380 Capstone Design I

The Capstone Design course provides Senior level engineering students the opportunity to participate in a year-long design project. Design teams will be supported by a dedicated engineering professor from a relevant engineering discipline. Students may choose a University design competition, or a project that serves a customer in the community. Design projects are to be held to a professional standard, with realistic constraints. This course culminates in a preliminary design review that will be used to complete the final design in the following semester. Lab fee.

ENGR 4381 Capstone Design II

The Capstone Design course provides Senior level engineering students the opportunity to participate in a year-long design project. This course is the second half of the Capstone Design sequence.  Design teams will be continue their work through fabrication, testing, and final presentation. Design projects are to be held to a professional standard, with realistic constraints. This course culminates in a final design review that will include feedback from experts outside the UMHB faculty. Lab fee.
