Selected Courses and Programs

Students will be introduced to typical problems encountered in various branches of engineering using a case-study approach. They will gain experience using computer tools to solve these problems numerically. Skill will be developed in a spreadsheet environment, and the fundamentals of programming will be presented. Applications involve use of descriptive statistics, regression, interpolation, logical and numerical functions, sets of algebraic equations. Students are introduced to data types, assignment and conditional statements, program flow control, passing parameters, returning values with functions, arrays.
An expansive study of thermal and fluid principles and applications including laws of thermodynamics, basic power cycles, conservation laws, internal and external flows, and convective heat transfer.
An introduction to economic analysis with emphasis on those concepts directly related to project management. Topics include analysis of alternatives, project initiation, depreciation and taxation, cost estimates, risk and uncertainty, project planning, execution, and control.
Topics include basic terminology, data presentation, descriptive statistics, curve-surface fitting and correlation, probability and model fitting, random variables, statistical inferences, one-way analysis of variance, prediction and tolerance intervals, and control charts.
