Montgomery College currently offers three Engineering courses in addition to most of the core curriculum classes required by most Engineering programs:

ENGR 1304 - Foundations of Engineering I

Prerequisite: MATH 2412 (Precalculus)

Corequisite: ENGL 1301 (Composition & Rhetoric I)

Course Description: Introduction to the engineering profession, ethics, and disciplines; development of skills in teamwork; problem solving, logic processing, design and drawing; emphasis on computer applications and CAD tools.

Other notes: This course emphasizes mechanical drawing with hand sketches and AutoCAD. At Montgomery College, ENGR 1304 students also practice their problem-solving skills by building a robot in teams. At the end of the semester, teams compete in a robotics competition to show off the hard work. Expect to learn a lot and have some fun doing it.

ENGR 1305 - Foundations of Engineering II

Prerequisite: ENGR 1304 & MATH 2413 (Calculus I)

Course Description: Development of skills in problem solving, design, analysis, estimation, and teamwork; utilization of computer tools for documentation and presentation; introduction to logic processing and computer programming; introduction to accounting and conservation principles in engineering sciences.

Other notes: This course emphasizes programming in C++. This semester, you'll program a robot for a new and different design challenge.

ENGR 2301 - Engineering Mechanics I

Prerequisite: PHYS 2425 (Mechanics & Heat) & MATH 2414 (Calculus II)

Course Description: Statics of particles and rigid bodies, free body diagrams, centroids, center of gravity and distributed loads, structural analysis of trusses and frames, internal forces and moments in beams and cables, friction, moments of inertia.

Other notes: This course is meant to transfer to an Engineering program as a "Statics" course.
