We will also add a 3-credit Numerical Methods course. These changes, along with their catalog descriptions, are shown below. Topics include the solution of ordinary differential equations, systems of linear algebraic equations, vector and matrix algebra, and the eigenvalue problem. Experimental design, analysis of variance and regression theory. Laplace transforms, scalar and vector field theory, Fourier series, partial differential equations.
Course utilizes programming as well as various numerical software tools.
This course, with the addition of a Circuits Lab, also replaces ELEG 314, Circuits. It introduces Circuits a full two years earlier. We will add Physics 210, Thermal Physics, to introduce our students to Thermodynamics. Its addition will allow Physics to have a Thermodynamics course for their students as well. Turning to our courses within Engineering, we had some courses that were not as effective as we would like.
