Instruction on estimations, sketching, computer graphics, economics, spreadsheet analysis, human factors, planning and scheduling, elementary statistics, safety and risk analysis, materials and manufacturing, engineering ethics. Lectures followed by recitation or workshop sessions. Conservation of mass, momentum, energy and charge.
Emphasis is on solving engineering problems using computers and numerical techniques.
Introduction to asynchronous sequential circuits. Five laboratory assignments. Noncrystalline, polymeric and ceramic materials. Elastic and plastic stress-strain behavior of all materials is emphasized along with diffusion in solids, phase equilibria, and phase transformations. Materials utilization includes mechanical failure, corrosion and service stability.
