Pre-Engineering (PENG)

Introduces the academic expectations and scholarly community of the field while connecting students to key campus and departmental resources. Develops essential academic strategies, deepens understanding of the learning process, and promotes insight into the value and purpose of education through guided reflection, skill-building, and career exploration while providing an introduction into Physics and Engineering. Cross-listed with: PHYS 195.

Discusses vectors, equilibrium of a particle, resultants of force systems, equilibrium of rigid bodies in two and three dimensions, structural analysis, friction, centroids, and moments of inertia. Required for the pre-engineering articulation agreement with UW-Milwaukee.

Covers motion and the laws of motion in different dimensions of space using various orthogonal curvilinear coordinates; relative motion; work and energy; conservative forces and potential energy; conservation of linear and angular momentum; and rigid body motion. Required for the pre-engineering articulation agreement with UW-Milwaukee.

Covers circuit laws and analysis, restrictive circuits, energy storage, AC circuits and power, three-phase circuits, and computer-aided analysis. Required for the pre-engineering articulation agreement with UW-Milwaukee.

Provides an overview of materials science and engineering, highlighting different types of materials. Covers the design, synthesis, processing, fabrication, and structure-property relationships of materials. Includes laboratory work.

Covers fundamentals of computer aided design (CAD), solid modeling, engineering drawings, dimensioning and specifications.

Introduces students to branches and interdisciplinary fields of physics: experimental, theoretical, and computational. Emphasizes the breadth of applicability of physics as well as current areas of interest through note-taking, discussions, and other resources.

Delves further into the branches and interdisciplinary fields of physics: experimental, theoretical, and computational. Emphasizes the breadth of applicability of physics as well as current areas of interest through note-taking, discussions, and other resources. Cross-listed with: PHYS 297.
