Meeting Pattern: Four periods per week including lab. This course is designed to introduce students to the study and practice of engineering. Students explore the wide variety of fields of study in engineering, focusing on topics important to the fields of Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, and Biomedical Engineering. Using activities, design projects, and laboratory modules students learn first-hand how engineers use mathematics and science to solve problems. Topics include statics, dynamics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials. EE352 Introduction to Engineering – Electrical One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Meeting pattern: Four periods per week including lab. This course is designed to introduce students to the study and practice of engineering. Students explore the wide variety of fields of study in engineering, focusing on topics important to the fields of Electrical, Electronic, Computer, and Systems Engineering. Using activities, design projects, and laboratory modules students learn first-hand how engineers use mathematics and science to solve problems. Topics include circuits, electronics, and control systems. EE354 Architecture One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Meeting pattern: Four periods per week including lab. This course introduces students to the field of architecture. Students use industrystandard software (Revit Architecture) to design buildings. Driven by hands-on projects and activities, this course covers topics such as architectural history, structural engineering, green building, project planning, site planning, building design, and project documentation. The final project is the design of a house for a client, giving students the opportunity to model the real-world experiences of architects. EE452 Biomedical Instrumentation One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit Prerequisite: MA422 AP Calculus BC (II) and EE352 Introduction to Engineering- Electrical, and permission of the Academic Programs Office. Meeting pattern: Four periods per week including lab. In this course students learn the basic principles of electronic instrumentation with biomedical examples. Concepts of analog signal processing, filters, and 86
input and output impedances are emphasized. Students are exposed to system design concepts such as amplifier design and various transducers. Laboratories reinforce basic concepts and offer the student design opportunities in groups. Course includes a final design project. EE454 Statics One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: MA412 AP Calculus AB (Advanced Topics II) and PH355a Physics with Advanced Topics or PH404 AP Physics C: Mechanics (I), and permission of the Academic Programs Office. Meeting pattern: Four periods per week. In this course, students explore the principles of dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, as well as mechanics including force systems, equilibrium structures, distributed forces, centroids, and friction. Students also perform kinematic and kinetic analysis of structural and machine elements in a plane and in space in addition to absolute and relative motion analysis.
