  • EDUC 423 - Collaborative Partnerships


    Credits: 3

    This course defines, studies, and applies the skills necessary for teaching collaboratively. It presents a paradigm that adheres to the belief that close working relationships between teachers serving the same students are an absolute necessity. Emphasis will be placed on the need for close communication between professionals, the challenges of scheduling and instructional coordination, and interpersonal problem solving. This course will also examine student transition as it relates to placement in the elementary school, movement from the elementary setting to a middle school placement, movement from the middle school to a high school placement and from the school setting into community environments. It will promote skill development in working with students and their parents to encourage advocacy and self determination.

    Prerequisite(s): EDUC 206  and admission to Teacher Education.

    Term(s) Offered: Fall, Spring

  • ECE 471 - Electrical Systems Integration


    Credits: 3

    This course is the first step in the senior design sequence. The first third of the course (lecture and lab) will concentrate on system specifications and instrumentation. For the rest of the semester, the lecture will cover various topics of system design including project management, decision making, testing, and economics. To coincide with this material, the lab will be used as time for the students to start the senior design project. The course will be assessed through a project proposal, midterm design review, final design review. Furthermore, the students will need to turn in individual progress reports and various assignments (labs, homework, case studies) throughout the semester. The course consists of 2 hours of lecture and a 2 hour lab.

    Prerequisite(s): Senior standing in engineering and consent of instructor.

    Lecture-Lab (ex: 3-1 means 3 hrs lecture and 1 hr lab): 2-2

  • ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering


    Credits: 3

    This course introduces students to a systematic, engineering problem-solving method. Problems have been selected to preview many of the engineering courses that the students will take as sophomores, including statics and electrical circuits. A large portion of this course is dedicated to formulating problems for computer solutions using methods such as flowcharting that can be applied to any programming language. Additionally, students learn computer programming using VISUAL BASIC and MATLAB.

    Prerequisite(s): MATH 230  (may be taken concurrently), or consent of instructor.

    Co-Requisite(s) (must be taken at same time as): MATH 230 

    Lecture-Lab (ex: 3-1 means 3 hrs lecture and 1 hr lab): (0-6)

  • ENGR 265 - Energy Systems and Sustainable Design


    Credits: 3

    ENGR 265 will include a survey of energy systems, energy production, and efficiencies of the various systems that are currently in use and/or are under development.  It will also cover topics of energy usage, such as building systems and sustainable building design.  The production, transportation and consumption of energy are some of the more important topics facing the human race, because energy touches on every facet of human existence.  This course will prepare engineering students to contribute to the complex societal nature of energy production, usage, and conservation in a quantitative way.

  • ENGR 417 - Project Management


    Credits: 3

    This course provides students with a broad overview of the techniques of project management from an engineering perspective. Topics will include a structured approach to project management, project life cycle, project selection and evaluation, organizational concepts in project management, project planning, conflict and negotiation, budgeting and cost estimation, scheduling, resource allocation, monitoring, project control and project termination. The objective is to gain insight into organizational issues and learn quantitative methods that are necessary for successful project management. The course has a strong emphasis on team work and student project presentations. Special purpose software such as Microsoft Project will be utilized.

    Prerequisite(s): ENGR 335  and junior standing.

    Lecture-Lab (ex: 3-1 means 3 hrs lecture and 1 hr lab): (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.

    Prerequisite(s): ENG 201  or equivalent.

  • ENG 255 - Introduction to British Literary History


    Credits: 3

    This course 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.

    Prerequisite(s): ENG 101  or equivalent.

  • 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.

    Prerequisite(s): ENG 101  or equivalent.
