Math Fundamentals
Students will demonstrate an understanding of fundamental mathematics (including calculus, linear and nonlinear simultaneous equation solving, etc.) by using computer tools to solve problems.
Engineering Units in SI and AES systems
Students will be able to use basic engineering units in both SI and AES systems in solving problems, and be able to convert between unit systems while using an equation solver like Mathcad.
Spreadsheets
Students will be able to use a spreadsheet package to perform engineering calculations which include some of the following: economic analysis, processing and analysis of data, graphical analysis and presentation, etc.
Mathematics Software
Students will be able to solve numerical and symbolic problems using advanced math software (e.g. Mathcad).
Write and Understand Program Structures
Students will be able to write program structures, and understand when programming is most appropriate.
Problem-Solving
Students will demonstrate an ability to solve engineering problems.
Problem-Solving into Algorithms for Procedures
Students will be able to convert problem solving strategies to procedural algorithms.
Estimations, Assessments, and Selections
Students will be able to make order of magnitude estimates, assess reasonableness of solutions, and select appropriate levels of solution sophistication.
