  • ENGR 411 - Simulation Modeling and Analysis

    Credits: 3

    This course is designed to introduce the fundamentals of simulation and systems modeling. During the course, the student will gain experience in formulating an appropriate simulation model for a system, implementing the model as a computer program, and evaluating the output of the model. Topics covered include Monte Carlo techniques, sampling from and identifying stochastic distributions, methods of estimating performance measures from simulation outputs, practical applications, and procedures for validating and verifying simulation models. Special purpose simulation languages such as Arena and SIMAN will be utilized. Systems models will also be constructed using Microsoft Excel software. Prereq: Junior standing in Engineering and ENGR 435 . (2-3)

  • ENGR 419 - Transportation and Logistics

    Credits: 3

    This course provides an overview of key concepts in supply chain management directly related to transportation and logistics. Emphasis is on the strategic importance of creating value in those areas (i.e., transportation and logistics) through the systematic study of theoretical principles in transportation management, distribution, and warehousing. The adoption of best practices including the use of third-party logistics providers (3PL) is also covered. The role of information technology to enable improvements in transportation and warehousing is reviewed. Case studies and practical examples are extensively used to illustrate how to address operational issues in transportation, distribution, and warehousing to effectively increase supply chain responsiveness and performance and improve customer satisfaction. Prereq: ENGR 435 . (3-0)

  • ENG 205 - Introduction to English Studies and Ways of Reading

    Credits: 3

    ENG 205 introduces students to the major literary genres (lyric poetry, drama, and prose fiction), to significant theoretical orientations (such as formalism, reader-response, Marxism, and feminism) that establish particular ways of reading any text, and to the range of disciplines included within the study of English (including linguistics, rhetoric, writing, and the teaching of English). This course is intended to help students become more critical and informed readers, more comfortable with the terminology used across the broad spectrum of English courses, and more able to marshal technical information and apply theoretical concepts in their literary interpretations. Prereq: ENG 201  or equivalent. Term(s) Offered (F=Fall, Sp=Spring, Su=Summer): F, Sp.

  • ENG 255 - Introduction to British Literary History

    Credits: 3

    ENG 255 examines the historical development of British literature, from the Anglo-Saxon invasions that catalyzed the birth of a British national identity and brought Beowulf into the literature of England, through the contentious development of this national identity into a global power, to Britain’s 20th century post-colonial status. By concentrating on representative or “canonical” works as well as those conventionally underrepresented, the course will provide students with the background necessary to understand British literary works in their social, political, and cultural contexts. Prereq: ENG 101  or equivalent. Meets Core Curriculum Goal B2: The Arts. Term(s) Offered (F=Fall, Sp=Spring, Su=Summer): F, Sp.

  • ENG 265 - Introduction to American Literary History

    Credits: 3

    ENG 265 provides an overview of the main currents in the development of American literature, from its beginnings in pre-colonial times through its reliance on and then struggle against British and European themes and forms, to its 20th-century development into the many voices of an uneasily multi-ethnic world power. By historically situating representative works from within the canon as well as from voices traditionally excluded or under-represented, the course will provide students with the background necessary to understand literature as the product of and often as challenging this background. Prereq: ENG 101  or equivalent. Meets Core Curriculum Goal B2: The Arts. Term(s) Offered (F=Fall, Sp=Spring, Su=Summer): F, Sp.
