Students select one of the four introductory engineering courses (ENGIN 110, 111, 112, or 113). Within a small class, student teams explore real engineering designs. This introduction to engineering design and/or manufacturing emphasizes development of communication skills (written, oral, and graphical). Project required.

Corequisites: Simultaneous enrollment in MATH 131, or higher; enrollment in, or eligibility to enroll in ENGLWRIT 112.

This course presents an undergraduate-level introduction to the principles and practice of management in health service organizations. Specific topics include leadership, organizational behavior and theory, strategic planning, marketing, quality and process improvement, finance and insurance, and human resource management. This course is designed to inform and prepare future managers with the necessary competencies to positively affect the long-term success of health organizations.

This course (Malaria, Cancer, Climate Change, Congestion and Social Trends: Simulation Modeling for Addressing World Problems) introduces students to the concept and types of simulation modeling needed for understanding complex systems and addressing global problems in healthcare, energy, transportation, among others. We will start with simple experiments that can be calculated by hand or in Excel to introduce the concept of simulation; then extend into systems modeling using compartmental and agent-based techniques.

Introduces the fundamental concepts of solar building design and energy systems. Through project-based study and occasional field visits, students will explore the theory, technologies, applications, and benefits of solar design of buildings and discover how to utilize solar energy systems for residential and commercial buildings.
Students will be required to research and document technology and complete a semester case study project in which they will examine various energy conservation aspects and economics underlying solar energy systems.

Laboratory for PHYSICS 287.

The class will examine how political scientists use surveys to measure and understand public opinion and election outcomes. A significant component of the course will be a class project to develop, conduct, and analyze an exit poll survey of voters during the elections. In the process of conducting this survey, students will learn valuable skills including how to write survey questions, how to properly sample and interview respondents, and how to analyze survey data.
