Engineering (ENGR)

ENGR 2050. Fundamentals of Engineering Mathematics. 3 Hours.

Fulfills prerequisite requirements for foundational engineering courses. Students will gain a basic understanding of calculus including derivatives and integrals and their applications, vectors, and linear algebra. Emphasis is placed on understanding how these concepts are used in to engineering scenarios. ** COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) ** At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Apply the definition of a derivative and derivative rules to differentiate functions. 2. Apply the derivative in solving real-world problems. 3. Compute the area under a curve through approximation techniques, and through proper use of the definite integral. 4. Use integrals to formulate and solve application problems in science and engineering. 5. Solve basic differential equations related to physical systems. Prerequisites: MATH 1050 and MATH 1060 (both Grade C- or higher), or MATH 1080 (Grade C- or higher), or a placement score qualifying for enrollment in MATH 1210, taken within two years of enrollment of this course. FA.

ENGR 3450. Numerical Simulation. 3 Hours.

Students learn to solve a wide range of engineering problems involving ordinary and partial differential equations. Topics include numerical error and stability, Fourier series, multi-step methods, numerics for higher-order ODEs, Newtons divided difference interpolation, Sturm-Liouville theory, and numerics for elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic PDEs. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Derive ordinary and partial differential equations governing canonical problems in engineering. 2. Classify PDEs as parabolic, hyperbolic, or elliptic, and analyze the implications for solution behavior and numerical methods. 3. Apply analytical and numerical methods to model and solve canonical engineering problems and implement custom solutions by developing code in Python and/or C++. 4. Identify errors associated with numerical solutions (i.e., discretization, round-off, truncation, and iteration errors) 5. Identify and apply stability criteria associated with numerical solutions. Prerequisites: MATH 2210 and MATH 2250 (both Grade C- or higher). FA.

ENGR 4880R. Engineering Co-op Education. 1 Hour.

Provides full-time, engineering work experience that integrates classroom learning with practical application in a professional setting. Students complete preparatory coursework during the Fall semester, followed by a summer CO-OP work experience in an engineering position. Note that work placements may be located outside of Utah. This course fosters a partnership between the student, employer, and Utah Tech University, helping students develop technical and professional skills, gain insight into career preparation, and enhance competitiveness in the job market through demonstrated experience. Repeatable up to 2 credits. ***COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course students will: 1. Integrate career specific knowledge and skills into a work environment. 2. Apply upper-level program concepts into a work environment to solve problems and improve operations. 3. Adapt communication for various professional audiences. 4. Assess and critique the impact of human behavior in a professional work environment. Prerequisites: MECH 2250 (Grade C- or higher) and permission from Career Services. FA.

ENGR 4890R. Internship. 0.5 Hours.

Summer Engineering internship with an approved employer. Students will be exposed to an engineering working environment and engineering work. Fixed 0.5 credits per Summer semester. Repeatable up to 2 credits. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course students will be able to: 1. Provide perspective on the work environment and practices of engineers. 2. Provide perspective on how engineering is applied in the workplace. Prerequisites: Instructor Permission. SU.
