Principles, goals, and methods of teaching elementary school and middle school mathematics. Topics include set theory, number systems, whole numbers, number theory and integers and the associated binary operations. Emphasis on problem solving. Offered every semester. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 155 or a Math ACT score of 22 or higher. QL
Mathematical logic and proofs are introduced and used to discuss sets, functions, mathematical induction, and countability. Counting methods are covered which include permutations, combinations, and applications to probability. Introductory graph theory topics may include isomorphisms, Euler and Hamiltonian circuits, directed graphs, spanning trees. Computer programming is used to carry out various algorithms throughout the course. Prerequisite: acceptable placement score or grade of C or higher in MATH 112.
Course includes both lecture and lab components per week. Study, analyze, and design fluid systems. Apply the concepts of mass conservation and momentum conservation to moving fluids. Learn about buoyancy, pressure, hydrostatics. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 320, MATH 325.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
Work with a team to explore a realistic, open-ended and multifaceted case under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Carry out and document design exploration, design refinement, and prototyping. Restricted to engineering majors with senior standing. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 230, 250, 280, 370; 320 or 350 or 380. (Equal to MATH-498)
