### ENGE 116 — Computational Methods in Engineering

- **Units:** 3
- **Hours:** 32 - 36 hours lecture/48-54 hours lab
- **Corequisite:** Completion of or concurrent enrollment in: MATH 151 with a Grade of "C" or better, or equivalent
- **Offered:** Fall 2026, 1 section (/c/san-diego-miramar-college/schedule/fall-2026/enge.md); Spring 2027, 1 section (/c/san-diego-miramar-college/schedule/spring-2027/enge.md)
- Grading: Letter Grade Only

This course introduces students to computational methods and their applications to computer-based problem solving for engineers. Students formulate and solve engineering problems through modeling and the application of numerical methods, then evaluate and rationalize the results using Matlab computational engineering software. Topics include functions and arrays, data and file management, loops, control flow, and standard library packages and software. Numerical methods covered include matrix operations, Gauss Reduction, Newton Raphson, curve fitting, interpolation, numerical differentiation and numerical integration. Engineering application include finite element analysis, dynamics, computational fluid mechanics, data visualization and image analysis. This course is designed for students majoring in engineering.

### ENGE 230 — Basics of Mechatronics

- **Units:** 3
- **Hours:** 32 - 36 hours lecture/48-54 hours lab
- **Prerequisite:** PHYS 196 with a Grade of "C" or better, or equivalent and MATH 150 with a Grade of "C" or better, or equivalent
- **Offered:** not on the Fall 2026, Spring 2027 schedules
- Grading: Letter Grade Only

This course is an introduction to mechatronics covering fundamental DC and AC circuits, Ohm's Law, breadboarding techniques, capacitors, inductors, circuit components, and integrated circuit amplifiers, with a focus on filters and mechanical engineering applications. Laboratory sessions emphasize measurement techniques using function generators, multimeters, oscilloscopes, and computer-based circuit analysis software for simulations. This course if designed for students majoring in Engineering.
