Math for Elementary and Middle School Teachers Seminar

Overview of foundational math skills for PK-9 (elementary-middle) school teachers. This course is restricted to students in the professional degree completion program.

Elementary Algebra

Math study skills. Introduction to statistics. Pre-algebra topics. Solving linear and multivariable equations. Graphing linear equations and inequalities. Ratio, rate, and proportion. Real number system, properties, and order of operations. Area and perimeter of rectangles, areas, and circles. Algebraic problem solving. Exponents and radicals. Factoring polynomials, algebra of rational expressions, solving equations by factoring. Credits not applicable toward graduation. Graded CR/NC. After successful completion of 091, students continuing on to 111 or 112 are required to take 081 as a co-requisite and students continuing on to 130 are required to take 083 as a co-requisite.

Math and Science Success

Designed for new students intending a course of study in math or science. The emphasis will be on development of effective learning skills. Topics include reading for learning; working with study teams; managing time; managing stress; coping with pressure and even failure; setting goals; exploring university resources including research and internship opportunities; and talking with upper class students about adjusting and career choices. Restricted to freshman mathematics and mathematics education majors. Graded CR/NC. (Equivalent to BIOL 112, CHEM 112.)

Special Topics

Courses on topics of interest to engineering students offered on the basis of need, interest, or timeliness. Prerequisites: as determined by the instructor. Restricted to students with juniorstanding or higher. May be repeated for credit. For specific section description, click to the Section Details in VitNet.

Independent Study

Independent reading and/or research under the guidance of a engineering faculty member. Refer to the academic policy section for independent study policy. Independent study contract is required. May be repeated for credit.

Capstone Internship

Students will participate in an off-campus engineering internship, applying course knowledge and skills to problems within a work environment. Internship placements must be established prior to enrollment in this course in consultation with careers office and/or science/engineering faculty member. May be repeated for credit. Permission of instructor required. Graded CR/NC.

Engineering Cooperative Learning Semester

Application of engineering principles to solve real world problems in an actual industrial setting while earning a wage. Students are expected to work part-time during the semester for an engineering company under the supervision of an engineer on-site. Restricted to engineering majors with junior standing and engineering faculty approval. Graded CR/NC.

Engineering Cooperative Learning Summer

Application of engineering principles to solve real world problems in an actual industrial setting while earning a wage. Students are expected to work full-time during the summer for an engineering company under the supervision of an engineer on-site. Restricted to engineering majors with junior standing and engineering faculty approval. Graded CR/NC.

Design Capstone 1
