All engineers are required to take several semesters of math, some fields requiring more. Class sizes vary in size, but the general trend is decreasing sizes with increasing course level. However, a majority of large classes break down into smaller discussion sections so that individual questions can be answered and allow for more one on one interaction. Among the classes are calculus, differential equations, matrix theory, and statistics. Noyes Lab is home to the chemistry department.
Chemistry is another classes which all engineers have to take, in varying quantities.
The lecture sizes are usually large. However, like math, these large lectures break into smaller groups of students working in a smaller environment to emphasize points in the lecture and to answer the students questions about material in the lecture. Everitt Lab is home to the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. It is the largest department in the College of Engineering with some 1800 students. Electrical engineering is considered one of the broadest majors in engineering with many different paths of study, including specializations in circuits, communication systems, bioengineering, power generation, or electromagnetics.
