Student Alert: 356 BCC courses renumbered and/or renamed starting summer 2008. For example, Speech 200 is now Communication Studies 210. If you have taken courses at BCC prior to summer 2008, visit our Common Course Number Advisory website to learn more and view a list of changed courses.

ENGR 110 Engineering Orientation • 2 CR
Surveys the functions of engineering and the various fields of the profession. Format includes lecture, discussion, and guest speakers. Course is graded "pass/fail."
ENGR 111 Engineering Problems • 3 CR
Introduces fundamental principles of engineering and develops analytical and problem-solving ability. Topics include dimensional analysis, theory of measurements, vector algebra, and engineering statistics. Prerequisite: MATH 120 or permission of instructor.
ENGR 123 Engineering Graphics • 4 CR
Introduces methods of communicating technical information in engineering design and research. Topics include freehand sketching, lettering, scales, drawing layout, orthographic projection, pictorials, auxiliary views, section views, dimensioning, descriptive geometry, thread and fastener specifications, and tolerances. Includes an introduction to computer-aided drafting. Prerequisite: MATH 098 or 099.
ENGR 170 Fundamentals of Materials Science • 4 CR
Explores elementary principles underlying the structure and properties of materials. Topics include the properties of inorganic and organic materials as related to atomic, molecular, and crystalline structure. Also covers metals, ceramics, multi-phase systems, natural and synthetic polymeric materials, mechanical stress, electromagnetic fields, irradiation, and thermal and chemical changes. Prerequisite: CHEM 150.
ENGR 200 Computer-Aided Drafting I • 3 CR
Introduces the fundamentals of drawing with a computer-aided drafting software system. Drawing and editing commands are used to create and revise a variety of drawings. Topics include CAD systems, advantages, applications, and operational skills. Prerequisite: ENGR 123 or permission of instructor.
ENGR 201 Computer-Aided Drafting II • 3 CR
Continues ENGR 200, involving more complex CAD techniques. Prerequisite: ENGR 200 or permission of instructor.
