Saint Leo University offers a minor in engineering for students from any major. The minor provides fundamentals of the field that are common to all engineering disciplines. This is an 18-hour* minor with additional hours required for prerequisites for majors from outside the Math and Science Department.
|
| | EGN 220 | Computer Aided Design and Graphics | (3) |
Prerequisite: COM 140
A course in the theory and technique of technical graphics as related to the design process. Emphasis is placed on engineering drawings, measurements and tolerances, three-dimensional computer modeling, graphs, charts, diagrams, and flow charts, and use of spreadsheets for data analysis and graphing. |
| EGN 320 | Circuit Theory and Analysis | (3) |
Prerequisite: MAT 152 or higher, PHY 222 recommended
A course in the underlying science and conventional practices of electrical circuits and basic electronics. Emphasis is placed on circuit analysis, evaluation, and the use of electrical components in engineering designs. |
| EGN 330 | Mechanics of Materials | (3) |
Prerequisites: MAT 152 or higher and PHY 221
This course conveys the theory of material behavior under design loads and the implementation of materials to meet engineering design requirements. Emphasis is placed on stress, strain, torsion, shear, bending, and combined loads, and material response to these loads. In addition, a primer of material science will introduce the student to design and analysis of material requirements. |
| EGN 340 | New Product Development | (3) |
Prerequisite: MAT 201 recommended
This course will introduce students to reliability analysis as applied to the assessment, development, and management of product and process design functions. This course offers an opportunity to observe the difference between the theoretical and experimental concepts, methodologies, and techniques of reliability and maintainability, as well as the ancillary aspects of quality control, safety engineering, and operational analysis. |
| EGN 350 | Engineering Mechanics | (3) |
EGN 350: Engineering Mechanics 3 credits
Prerequisites: MAT 152 or higher (MAT 231 recommended) and PHY 221
Foundations of engineering mechanics, including force systems, resultants, equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, centroids and center of mass, area and mass moments of inertia, friction, internal forces of structures, kinematics and kinetics of particles, kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies, energy and momentum principles. |
| COM 315 | Decision Support Systems | (3) |
Prerequisites: COM 140; With better computer data analysis and the application of statistical concepts, decision making can be enhanced. This course provides the knowledge and skills to create these applications. Course fee may apply. |
