ENGR 250 Principles of Materials Science
 3 hours. The science underlying the behavior of engineering materials, including the relation between atomic structure and mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties in metals, ceramics, polymers, composite materials, and semiconductors. Phase diagrams, heat treatment, and corrosion mechanisms are also presented. Laboratory exercises are included to enhance course theory and to provide hands-on experience with materials measurement apparatus and analysis techniques. Two lectures and one laboratory per week. Additional course fee is required.
Prerequisites: CHEM 211 General Chemistry I, ENGR 152 Engineering Principles II, and PHYS 212 General Physics with Calculus II.

ENGR 275 Engineering Internship Experience
 1-4 hours. Supervised experience with an off-campus industry, business, or institution where the student is working in some engineering-related discipline. Admission and credit hours determined by instructor.

ENGR 285 Selected Topics
 2-4 hours. Occasional special courses chosen to fit the interests and needs of engineering students and faculty. Additional course fee is required.

ENGR 351 Servant Engineering I
 1 hour. In the servant engineering sequence, students apply their knowledge and design skills gained through course work to a variety of service engineering projects. Students will work in conjunction with industry partners to develop significant engineering solutions solely for the purpose of serving others. Some of these projects might be minor and require a semester or less to complete. Some projects might be quite extensive and take multiple years and multiple subprojects to complete. Every project will be an opportunity to use the gifts that God has given us to serve others. Additional course fee is required.
Prerequisite: ENGR 152 Engineering Principles II.

ENGR 481 Senior Design I
1 hour. In the senior design sequence, students apply their knowledge and design skills gained through course work to an industry-based project. In the first semester, interdisciplinary teams are formed to begin projects in conjunction with participating industrial sponsors. Necessary background research and feasibility studies are completed. Students must also consider the ethical, moral, environmental, and social impact of their designs. Collaboration with other departments of the university is encouraged. Additional course fee is required.
Prerequisite: senior status in the engineering major.

ENGR 482 Senior Design II
3 hours. The projects that were initiated in the first semester are further developed through simulation, prototyping, and testing. Use of analytic, computer, experimental, and design techniques is applied throughout the project. The design sequence culminates in the construction of the projects, oral presentations, and formal written reports. Additional course fee is required.
Prerequisite: ENGR 481 Senior Design I.
