Engineering students in this course will gain professional level of education in the mathematics of system dynamics and control. Students will have the opportunity to apply their skill in two projects during the semester that focus on modeling a physical system and applying control theory to achieve a desired behavior. Topics include: Linear Ordinary Differential Equations, System Dynamics, Laplace Transforms, Mechanical Systems, System Modeling, Control System Design in the time domain and frequency domain. Prerequisite.
ENGR 2321, ENGR 2430, MATH 3325, and CISC 2330.

This course covers the fundamentals of applied electromagnetics by emphasizing physical understanding and practical applications in Engineering Science. It deals with the study of static electric fields in vacuum and dielectrics, conductors, capacitance, electrostatic energy and forces, Poisson’s equation, static magnetic fields, Biot-Savart law, Ampere’s law, vector magnetic potential, inductance, Maxwell’s equations for time varying fields, Faraday’s law, plan wave propagation, time-harmonic fields, propagation in lossless media, and wave reflection and transmission at normal incidence. The bridge between electric circuits and electromagnetics is done through the study of transmission lines and their lumped-element model, transmission line input impedance, and power flow on lossless transmission line. Prerequisites: ENGR 2430, MATH 3430, and MATH 3325. Lab fee.

The Capstone Design course provides Senior level engineering students the opportunity to participate in a year-long design project. Design teams will be supported by a dedicated engineering professor from a relevant engineering discipline. Students may choose a University design competition, or a project that serves a customer in the community. Design projects are to be held to a professional standard, with realistic constraints. This course culminates in a preliminary design review that will be used to complete the final design in the following semester. Prerequisite: ENGR 3260 and senior standing. Lab fee.
