Mathematical logic and proofs are introduced and used to discuss sets, functions, mathematical induction, and countability. Counting methods are covered which include permutations, combinations, and applications to probability. Introductory graph theory topics may include isomorphisms, Euler and Hamiltonian circuits, directed graphs, spanning trees. Computer programming is used to carry out various algorithms throughout the course. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in MATH 112.
Work with a team to explore a realistic, open-ended and multifaceted case under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Carry out and document design exploration, design refinement, and prototyping. Restricted to engineering majors with senior standing. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 498.
Several topics applicable to the study of business are covered. In particular, the course considers systems of linear equations and linear programming, the mathematics of finance, and an introduction to probability. Emphasis in the course is on applications. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in 111 or 112. QL
This course is designed to provide additional support for students enrolled in MATH 111 or Math 112 whose placement score indicates they would benefit from extra support. The course will meet in a laboratory environment for one hour per week and will look in detail at topics as they are coming up in MATH 111 and 112. Graded credit/no credit. Credits not applicable toward graduation.
This course is designed to provide additional support for students enrolled in MATH 130 whose placement score indicates they would benefit from extra support. The course will meet in a laboratory environment for one hour per week and will look in detail at topics as they are coming up in MATH 130. Graded credit/no credit. Credits not applicable toward graduation.
Independent reading and/or research under the guidance of a engineering faculty member. Refer to the academic policy section for independent study policy. Independent study contract is required. May be repeated for credit.
Students will participate in an off-campus engineering internship, applying course knowledge and skills to problems within a work environment. Internship placements must be established prior to enrollment in this course in consultation with careers office and/or science/engineering faculty member. May be repeated for credit. Permission of instructor required.
Course includes both lecture and lab components per week. Study the interactions of energy and matter. Learn and apply the 0th, 1st, and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, work and heat, free energy, entropy, enthalpy. Learn how equations of state relate quantities such as temperature, pressure, volume, and internal energy for ideal gases and more complex systems. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in PHYS 260.
Course includes both lecture and lab components per week. Learn about fundamental crystal structures, elastic constants, stress and strain due to mechanical deformation and thermal expansion, and plastic deformation. Use the Schmid factor to determine active slip systems. Learn how to model viscoelasticity and select optimal materials using Ashby plots. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 250.
Students learn basic procedural programming skills in a program such as Matlab, and study various mathematical models along with their applications to engineering. Various deterministic, stochastic, and simulation models are covered. Requirements include modeling projects with written reports and class presentations.
