This course is designed to expose students with a wide range of academic interests to the human activity of science. In this course students will take the broad view that includes the natural, behavioral, and social sciences as material for discussions. Students will use the texts to explore the modes of thought and activity that are common to all of these disciplines, including their mathematical tools and empirical methods. Students will also consider the social, cultural and political contexts in which science occurs. By the end of the course, students should be familiar with scientists’ intellectual and practical tools. Students should also be able to contrast the distinctive features of the sciences with academic areas such as humanities.

This course is designed to familiarize computer science and engineering students with the fundamental concepts in numerical algorithms. This course will consider problems from the following areas" root finding, floating pair systems, finding solutions to linear systems using direct or iterative solvers, interpolation curve fitting, numerical differentiation and integration, multiple integrals, least squares. Prerequisite (s): CISC 2330 or ENGR 1320, and CISC 22315 or MATH 1330 (also Math 2310) or by permission of the instructor. Lab Fee.

The course provides a professional level of instruction for engineering students. Topics include: analysis of force-couple systems, equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, structural analysis, distributed forces, friction, centroids and moments of area, particle kinematics and kinetics in various coordinate systems. Prerequisite(s): ENGR 1320 and MATH 1330 or MATH 2310.

The course designed provides a professional level of instruction for engineering students. Topics include: force action related to displacement, velocity, acceleration of rigid bodies including Newton's Second Law, work energy methods, impulse-momentum, central and oblique impacts, and kinematics of plane motion, translation and rotation. Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2320 and MATH 2330.

The objective of this course is to develop knowledge of the First and second laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic processes and properties, flow processes, conversion of heat into work, conduction, convection, radiation, and heat exchangers. Topics include applications to ideal and real gases, vapor and gas power systems, refrigeration, and many heat pumps. Examples and problems relate to contemporary aspects of energy, power generation and broader environmental issues. Prerequisites: ENGR 2321, MATH 2330 and PHYS 2422.
