Introductory Engineering Applications

Catalog description

This course will provide an introduction to engineering through physical, visual, and mathematical modeling of phenomena. Specific topics include linear relationships, two-link robots, polar and vector notation, systems of equations, and flowcharts. Students will model these phenomena in hands-on labs, then mathematically and visually model the concepts by hand and through MATLAB software. In addition, spatial-visualization and MATLAB training will be offered. The course will meet for three lecture hours per week. In addition, the course will meet for a 2-hour lab session every other week (6 times during the semester). Prerequisite(s): **Open to Engineering Majors ONLY** Corequisite(s): MATH 111
