Offered Fall and Spring Semesters

Prerequisite: CHM 110

Co-requisite: MAT 141 (required)

This course studies the relationships between a material’s structure, processing and properties (electrical, mechanical and thermal). All levels of structure are considered from gross structures easily visible to the eye through electronic structure of atoms. This transfer course is primarily intended for engineering students.

Offered Fall, Spring and Summer Semesters

Prerequisite:  Placement Into CPT 170, or instructor permission

Co-requisites:  AET 110 or EGT 110 or CET 103

This course is a study of basic computer-aided design concepts required for engineering, architectural, surveying, construction and related industry applications. 2D and 3D AutoCAD applications are introduced in this course.

Offered Spring Semester

Prerequisite: EGR 194 and completion of all other technical courses in the program in which the student is majoring, plus department head approval.
