COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
EMS:820 Pre Hospital Trauma
Life Support (PHTLS)
1 cr.
The Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support
course is presented utilizing the Standards
and Guidelines for Emergency Trauma
Care under the direction of the American
College of Surgeons. This intensive handson program is a unique educational
opportunity that was created in recognition
for the real need in EMS education for
additional training in the care of the trauma
patient. This program is designed to
enhance and increase knowledge and skills
necessary in delivering critical care in the
pre-hospital environment. Upon successful
course completion the student will receive
an American College of Surgeons PHTLS
Provider certification for a 4-year
certification period.

properties used to relate stress and strain
in common machine elements, beam
stresses and deflections, column buckling,
and an introduction to energy methods.

This course deals with the integration of
freehand sketching and computer drawing
of orthographic projection; theory of
pictorial drawing, basic dimensioning and
working drawings; the analysis and
synthesis of theoretical and practical
problems involving the size, shape and/or
relative position of common geometric
magnitudes as points, lines and planes.

developments, engineering dimensioning,
limits and fits, design drawings.
(39.6 Lec. Hrs./39.6 Lab Hrs.)
Prerequisite: EGR:112 or the equivalent.
3 cr.
The course focuses on the fundamental
concepts of mechanics including vectors,
forces, moments, free body diagrams,
equilibrium of a particle, equilibrium of
rigid bodies, and equivalent systems.

EGR:280 Dynamics
3 cr.
The course focuses on particle and rigid
body motion. Kinematics, kinetics, workenergy, and impulse-momentum principles
are covered for particles and rigid bodies in
one-dimension and two-dimensions. Threedimensional rigid body kinematics and
kinetics are introduced.

Prerequisite: EGR:180, MAT:210 and
PHY:212.
Co-requisite: MAT:216.
EGR:285 Introduction to
Electrical Science
3 cr.
This course covers electrical circuit
analysis with the goal of developing
electrical engineering fundamentals for any
engineering discipline. This course consists
of a lecture and laboratory session. The
primary focus is basic circuit theory, circuit
modeling, analytical methods, first-order
circuits, basic second-order circuits, and
steady state AC circuit analysis. Practical
laboratory and engineering skills will be
achieved through building various electric
circuits and taking electrical measurements.
(59.4 Lec. Hrs.)
Prerequisites: MAT:210 and PHY:222.
Co-requisite: MAT:216.
EGR:290 Thermodynamics
3 cr.
The course focuses on the definitions,
concepts, and laws of thermodynamics.
Thermodynamic properties are defined that
describe the behavior and state of systems.
The first and second laws of thermodynamics are applied to control masses and
control volumes. Analysis is applied to a
variety of standard thermodynamic cycles.
Analysis techniques are developed to
systematically solve engineering problems
involving thermodynamic systems and
processes. Specific topics include work,
heat, energy, ideal gases, the Carnot cycle,
efficiency, entropy, exergy, vapor power
cycles, gas power cycles, and refrigeration
cycles.
