ENGR 1030 - Basic Engineering Science

Credit hours: 3

Course Description:
Introduction to basic concepts of engineering. Physical quantities, units, dimensions, vectors; formulation of engineering problems. Calculus-based analysis of fundamental dynamics; motion along a straight line and in a plane. Newton’s Laws of Motion plus applications. Work and energy, impulse and momentum, and rotational motion will be included.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to:

Apply basic engineering science fundamental concepts to solve constant acceleration kinematic problems.
Apply Newton’s Laws of Motion, work and energy, and conservation laws to analyze kinetic problems.
Use Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation to study the motion of satellites.
