MATH INTERNSHIP

Catalog description

The internship is a curricular-related opportunity that allows students to earn between one and four credits while gaining valuable professional experience in public and private institutions engaged in the work of mathematics. Students may not receive retroactive credit for an internship they have already begun or completed. Interns will work a set number of hours over the course of the semester on a schedule approved by the internship supervisor and faculty director.

Chair: Dr. Tony Barbosa, Associate Professor of Chemistry Program Director: Dr. Alex Tsai, P.E., Associate Professor of Physics and Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering is the scientific technical field which studies the design, build, testing, and practical application of physics principles, for the purpose of solving societal problems in innovative ways. It investigates the motion of mechanisms and machines, the strength of materials, the failure modes of mechanical devices, the effective transfer of heat, energy production, the behavior of complex systems in automation and design, electromechanical systems, and the modernization of manufacturing processes, among other topics. These subject matters are arranged in three major tracks of the program: thermal sciences, machine design, and automation, instrumentation and controls. The Mechanical Engineering major is especially well suited for students who have a keen interest in robotic and mechatronic systems. Students will learn about engineering modeling, analysis and design, CAD software, sensor and actuator dynamics, programming, and system control. Thes e courses outline modern engineering methodologies, in practical, hands -on ways. Graduates from this program are well prepared for manufacturing and industrial jobs requiring knowledge of automation and mechanical engineering subjects. The Minor in Engineering, offers courses covering engineering topics that are foundational for most engineering fields, including programming, and analysis of structural components.
