Bluefield State University

This course involves exploring and identifying factors influencing health and wellness. A personal health promotion plan will be implemented and evaluated.

Imaging Research

Surveying I Lab

A study of basic quantity estimating including earthwork, drainage, foundations, concrete, masonry, light framing, and mechanical systems. Computer applications will be presented.

A study of the fundamental theories and principles used in the design of simple steel structures using LRFD methods.

Students are required to buy a NEW textbook for this class.

A course in which students are introduced to coupling networks, response analysis and noise. AM and FM transmission and reception, and related circuits are studied along with an introduction to transmission lines, antennas, and microwave circuits.

This course provides a fundamental background in measurement systems, including the physical principles and practical techniques for setting up instrumentation for engineering applications. The measurements of such physical quantities as time, displacement, stress, strain, force, torque, pressure, flow, temperature, motion, velocity, acceleration and vibrations are discussed. The students will select, design, install, calibrate and perform testing with various instruments in the lab and prepare formal lab reports on the results of the experiments. Digital data acquisition and the use of PC's with the data acquisition systems will be introduced.

A course in applied fluid mechanics and fluid power. Pascal's law, the continuity equation and Bernoulli's Theorem lead to practical applications in fluid power systems. Components are discussed and explained in the laboratory. Hydraulic circuits are set up and analyzed. Trouble shooting and mining machinery applications are introduced.
