Significant figures. Graphing and curve fitting of technical data. Using logarithmic and trigonometric functions. Introduce engineering economics and statistics. Introduce other engineering discipline courses. Solution of engineering problems using computer programming languages.



Course Learning Outcomes
1. Understand the engineering problem solving method and apply it to engineering problems.
2. Communicate problem solutions with written documents and oral presentations according to engineering standards.
3. Solve a wide variety of engineering problems similar to material they will study in greater depth later.
4. Translate verbal, written, or graphical problems into mathematical models.
5. Use estimations and approximations to begin solving engineering problems.
6. Use an orderly process of presenting the calculations required in solving engineering problems so that others may readily understand their work.
7. Use computer programming languages to solve engineering problems.
