EGR 3304 Materials Science 3(3-0)
Pre-requisites: CHE 1402 and PHY 1402

An introduction to the properties and the selection of common engineering materials used in engineering applications. Engineering materials in physical systems are subject to thermal, mechanical, electrical and chemical stress. The use of appropriate engineering materials for a specific application is critical to the reliability of the engineering system. Provides basic knowledge about material parameters, including atomic structure; basic mechanical, thermal and electrical properties; composite material structures; metal and ceramic materials; corrosion; semiconductor materials; reliability and material failure; and material testing.

EGR 3331 Digital Design 3(3-0)
Co-requisite: PHY 1402

Introductory concepts needed to design digital systems. Classical methods, including Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential logic and modern register transfer languages illustrate the design methods. The course is organized to provide a generic approach to the design of digital systems that does not require selecting a particular integrated circuit technology. Basic computing elements, efficient logic design methods and appropriate digital system diagrams are used in the design procedure. Topics covered include: logic functions, arithmetic circuitry, memory, error correcting principles, digital code conversions, timing sequences, principles of integrated circuits, principles of machine language and micro processor design, all of which are needed to design complex digital systems.

EGR 4300 Internship 3(3-0)
May be combined with EGR 4402 for 7 SCH.

On-the-job education and training in a public or private sector agency or business. Students must consult with the internship director to arrange for a three-party contract to be drawn up that details the amount and nature of the work to be done. The contract must be signed by the student, the internship director and the agency or business person supervising the work.
