For each discipline the course will examine certification requirements, programs of study, types of work and tasks in each discipline, and compensation ranges. Tours and speakers will be arranged.
PREREQUISITE: Two years of high school algebra.

EGG 101 Engineering Graphics I
3 Credits
Provides an application of engineering graphics as a communication form and a tool to solve three- dimensional design problems. Topics include: Orthographic, axonometric, and isometric projections, sections and auxiliary views, the geometry of lines, planes, and curved surfaces. This course is an introduction to PC-based, menu driven, 3D Computer Aided Design Systems, Spreadsheets, and Freehand Drawing.
PREREQUISITES: MAT 121 or 122 or equivalent.

EGG 105 Logic Design
4 Credits
Covers the design of combinatorial and sequential switching circuits. Topics include: Boolean Algebra, Boolean Function Minimization Techniques, Combinatorial Circuit Analysis and Synthesis, Synchronous Sequential Circuit Analysis and Synthesis, Algorithmic State Machine Design, Asynchronous Sequential Circuit Analysis and Synthesis.
