COCC Engineering

Engineering is the art of applying scientific and mathematical principles, experience, judgment, and common sense to make things that benefit people.

Engineers have many different types of jobs to choose from, including research, design, analysis, development, testing, and sales positions. If you are interested in discovering new knowledge, you might consider a career as a research engineer. If you are imaginative and creative, design engineering may be for you. The work of analytical engineers most closely resembles what you do in your mathematics and science classes. If you like laboratory courses and conducting experiments, look into becoming a development engineer. Sales engineering could be a good choice if you are persuasive and like working with people. Engineering work is also organized by traditional academic fields of study. The five largest of these are chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering. There are also more specialized engineering fields, including aerospace, ocean, nuclear, biomedical, and environmental engineering.

The Engineering courses here at COCC are currently taught by Bruce Emerson and Kevin Grove

[ENGR201, ENGR202 ]

• ENGR201 (EE221 at OIT) Electrical Fundamentals I

  This first course in the analysis of electrical circuits is part of a three term sequence. In this first course we explore the basic concepts applying to planar electrical circuits. We develop DC circuit analysis techniques from Kirchoff's Laws and their variants to equivalent circuits. We also lay the groundwork for AC circuit analysis by looking at natural, step and sinusoidal responses of various circuit elements. We also explore basic features of solid state devices and in particular the characteristic performance of operational amplifiers (opamps). Prerequisites: PH202 or 212 and MTH 252

• ENGR202 (EE223 at OIT) Electrical Fundamentals II

  This second course in the analysis of electrical circuits is part of a three term sequence. In this second course we consider AC and 2nd Order Transient Analysis. Linear circuit analysis using sinusoids and phasors. Sinusoidal steady-state analysis. including nodal analysis, branch analysis, and source transformations. Thevenin's and Norton's equivalent circuits. Sinusoidal steady-state power calculation and balanced three-phase circuits. We also explore basic tranformer operation and various filtering circuits. Lec/lab. Recommended prerequisites: Prerequisites: ENGR201 and MTH 251/252
