EAS 211 - Intro to Modeling of Engr Systems

Prerequisite: EAS 112 or consent of instructor; corequisites: M 118 and PH 150. Modeling of simple engineering systems from different fields using empirical laws and the balance principle for mass, charge, linear momentum, and energy. Applications include introductory problems in material balances, electric circuits, fluid mechanics, statics, thermodynamics and heat transfer. Emphasis is on developing an engineering approach to problem-solving. 3 credits
