ES 201 Conservation & Accounting Principles 4R-0L-4C F,W
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: EM 121, and MA 113, and PH 111
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

A common framework for engineering analysis is developed using the concepts of a system, accounting and conservation of extensive properties, constitutive relations, constraints, and modeling assumptions. Conservation equations for mass, charge, momentum and energy, and an entropy accounting equation are developed. Applications taken from all engineering disciplines stress constructing solutions from basic principles. Students may not receive credit towards graduation for both ES 201 and any of BE 132 or CHE 201.
ES 205 Analysis & Design of Engineering Systems 3R-3L-4C S,F
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: ES 213, and ES 213L or ECE 203 or ENGD 120, and ES 214, and MA 222
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Conservation and accounting principles are used to model engineering systems comprising mechanical, electrical, fluid, and thermal elements. Dynamic behavior and performance criteria are characterized in the time and frequency domains. Topics include block diagrams, deriving and solving differential equations of motion, experimental parameter identification and model validation, teaming, and reporting engineering results.
ES 212 Fluid Systems 3R-3L-4C W,S
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: ES 201 or CHE 201 With a grade of C or higher
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Extend the conservation and accounting framework to examine fluid motion. Topics include dimensional analysis, pressure variation in both stationary and moving fluids, viscous effects including boundary layers, laminar and turbulent flow, and compressibility effects. Applications include similitude, lift and drag, pipe flow, nozzle and diffuser flow. Fundamental concepts are enriched by laboratory experiences. Students may not receive credit towards graduation for both ES 212 and any of EM 301 or CHE 301.
ES 213 Electrical Systems 3R-0L-3C
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: MA 113, PH 112, and either EM 121 or EM 120 or CHE 110 or NE 180 or BE 132 or OE 172
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Circuit elements, Kirchhoff's laws, equivalent circuits, voltage and current dividers, and analysis techniques for both DC and the phasor domain. AC circuits and power. Operational amplifiers.
ES 213L Electrical Systems Lab 0R-3L-1C
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: Concurrent registration in or successful completion of ES213 Laboratory component of ES213.
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Students will learn the basic use of the function generator, multimeter, oscilloscope, and power supply. Lab activities will occur on a weekly basis and will reinforce the topics covered in ES213. Should be taken in the same quarter as ES213.
ES 214 Mechanical Systems 3R-1L-4C W,S
Graduate Studies Eligible: No
Prerequisites: ES 201* or BE 132*, and either ME 123 or BE 100 or CSSE 120 or ENGD 120 *with a grade of C or higher
Corequisites: There are no corequisites for this course.

Conservation and accounting equations applied to mechanical systems. Kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies undergoing planar motion. Modeling and numerical simulation of dynamic systems. Students may not receive credit towards graduation for both ES 214 and EM 202.
