All first-year SEAS undergraduate students take ENGI E1102: Design fundamentals using the advanced computer technologies (4 points), in the Botwinick Multimedia Learning Laboratory. In this course, students learn the basics of engineering design along with professional and teamwork skills through participation in community service projects for real clients in local communities. While students need not officially commit to a particular branch of engineering until the third semester, most programs recommend, and in some cases may require, that particular courses be taken earlier for maximum efficiency in program planning. For information concerning these requirements, students should turn to the individual program sections in this bulletin. Professional-Level Courses for First- and Second-Year Students First- and second-year students are required to take at least one professionallevel course chosen from the list below. The faculty strongly encourages students to schedule two of these courses. (The Botwinick Multimedia Learning Laboratory course in computer and engineering design technology, ENGI E1102, which is required of every firstyear student, is not included in this list.) Each course is designed to acquaint SEAS students with rigorous intellectual effort in engineering and applied science early in their academic careers. If a student chooses to take the second professional-level course, such a 1000-level course may, at the discretion of each department, be used as an upper-level technical elective normally satisfied by 3000-level or higher courses. The courses stipulate minimal prerequisites. Each course serves as an introduction to the area of study in addition to teaching the subject matter. Each course is taught by regular department faculty and thus provides a double introduction to both subject area and faculty. The courses are: APPH E1300y Physics of the human body The human body analyzed from the basic principles of physics: energy balance in the body, mechanics of motion, fluid dynamics of the heart and circulation, vibrations in speaking and hearing, muscle mechanics, vision, gas exchange and transport in the lungs, structural properties and limits, and other topics. SEAS 2008–2009
APAM E1601y Introduction to computational mathematics and physics Mathematics and physics problems solved by using computers. Topics include elementary interpolation of functions, solution of nonlinear algebraic equations, curve-fitting and hypothesis testing, wave propagation, fluid motion, gravitational and celestial mechanics, and chaotic dynamics. BMEN E1001x Engineering in medicine The present and historical role of engineering in medicine and health care delivery. Engineering approaches to understanding organismic and cellular function in living systems. Engineering in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Medical imaging, medical devices: diagnostic and surgical instruments, drug delivery systems, prostheses, artificial organs. CHEN E1040y Molecular engineering and product design Examines the ways in which chemical and biological sciences are interpreted through analytical design and engineering frameworks to generate products that enhance human endeavor. Culture of chemical engineering and the wide variety of chemical engineering practices, through lectures by department faculty and practicing chemical engineers, trips to industrial facilities, reverse engineering of chemical products, and a chemical design competition. CIEN E1201y Design of buildings, bridges, and spacecraft Basic principles according to which many structures are designed, constructed, and maintained in service. How strength and safety are treated and the role of the computer at this design stage. Performance requirements, such as noise and motion limitations. Classic and new materials of construction, their important features, and laboratory demonstration of properties. Management of both design and construction projects, and followup assessment monitoring and control. EAEE E1100y A better planet by design Sustainable development and management of Earth resources (water, minerals, energy, and land) are now recognized globally as an essential goal. A “systems analytic” approach to understanding feedbacks and interactions between human activity and the environment is introduced. Elements of integrated assessment, modeling, forecasting and decision analysis are illustrated by means of case studies of current resource and environment concerns. ELEN E1201x and y Introduction to electrical engineering, with laboratory in circuit design Exploration of selected topics and their application. Electrical variables, circuit laws, nonlinear and linear elements, ideal and real sources, transducers, operational amplifiers in simple circuits, external behavior of diodes and transistors, first order RC and RL circuits. Digital representation of a signal, digital logic gates, flipflops. GRAP E1115x and y Engineering graphics Visualization and simulation in virtual environments; computer graphics methods for presentation of data. 3-D modeling; animation; rendering; image editing; technical drawing. MECE E1001x Mechanical engineering: micro-machines to jumbo jets The role of mechanical engineering in developing many of the fundamental technological advances on which today’s society depends. Topics include airplanes, automobiles, robots, and modern manufacturing methods, as well as the emerging fields of micro-electro-mechanical machines (MEMS) and nanotechnology. The physical concepts that govern the operation of these technologies will be developed from basic principles and then applied in simple design problems. Students will also be exposed to state-of-the art innovations in each case study. MSAE E1001y Atomic-scale engineering of new materials An introduction to the nanoscale science and engineering of new materials. The control and manipulation of atomic structure can create new solids with unprecedented properties. Computer hard drives, compact disc players, and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are explored to understand the role of new materials in enabling technologies. Group problem-solving sessions are used to develop understanding. Physical Education Two terms of physical education (C1001- C1002) are a degree requirement for students in The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. No more than 4 points of physical education courses may be counted toward the degree. A student who intends to participate in an intercollegiate sport should register for the appropriate section of C1005: Intercollegiate athletics. Intercollegiate athletes who attend regularly receive 1 point of credit up to the maximum of 4. Those who are advised to follow a restricted or adapted activity program should contact Professor Torrey in the Department of Physical Education and Intercollegiate Athletics. The physical education program offers a variety of activities in the areas of aquatics, dance, fitness, martial arts, individual and dual lifetime sports, team sports, and outdoor education. Most activities are designed for the beginner/intermediate levels. Advanced courses are indicated on the schedule. The majority of the activities are offered in ten time preferences. However, there are early-morning conditioning activities, Friday-only classes at Baker Field, and special courses that utilize off-campus facilities during weekends and vacation periods. The courses offered by the department for each term are included in the online Directory of Classes, and a description of the scheduled activities for each time preference is posted in the Physical Education Office, 336 Dodge Physical Fitness Center, and is included on the Department of Physical Education and Intercollegiate Athletics Web site (www.gocolumbialions.com). Students may register for only one section of physical education each term. Music Instruction Courses Music instruction and performance courses do not count toward the 128 points of credit required for a B.S. degree. Please note that this includes courses taken at Teachers College, Columbia College, and the School of the Arts. Visual Arts Courses Students are allowed to take courses in the Visual Arts Department for general credit to be applied toward the B.S. degree. However, no more than one visual arts course, which must be taken at the 3000 level or higher, may count toward the nontechnical elective requirement. Advanced Placement Prior to entering Columbia, students may have taken the College Entrance Examination Board’s Advanced Placement Examinations in a number of technical and nontechnical areas. Students may be assigned to an advanced-level course in mathematics, chemistry, or physics. A maximum of 16 points may be applied. In the required pure science areas, the number of advanced placement academic credits awarded to students of engineering and applied science varies from the levels awarded for liberal arts programs, notably in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. The benefit of advanced placement is acceleration through certain First Year–Sophomore Program requirements and thus the opportunity of taking specialized courses earlier. Each year the school reviews the CEEB advanced placement curriculum 13 SEAS 2008–2009
