Plan is based on placement into program-required math level. This can change depending on lower-level math placement.
This Sample Program Pathway is designed to provide an example of course selections in a term by term sequence. Please see an Academic Advisor for a plan specific to your academic needs.
Description: Mathematics for engineering technology students to prepare them for critical thinking, analytical reasoning and problem solving. Students will apply math to typical engineering technology problems from a variety of fields. Two classroom, two lab hours per week.
Notes: (PreReq: MAT-0200)
Prerequisites: MAT 0200
Description: Introduction to computer-based solution of engineering and engineering technology problems. Includes the fundamentals and applications of computer-based software (MathCAD) and integration with other software for documentation of work, including proper use of units and unit systems. Software solution applications include graphing functions and data, basic statistical calculations, use of matrices, vectors, solution of simultaneous and an introduction to Boolean logic. One-half classroom, one and one-half lab hours per week.
Notes: (PreReq: MAT-0300 OR MAT-1470 OR MAT-1580)
Prerequisites: MAT 0300 or MAT 1280 or MAT 1470 or MAT 1580
Description: Utilize SolidWorks mechanical design automation software to build parametric models of parts and assemblies and learn how to make drawings of those parts and assemblies. Three classroom, three lab hours per week.
Notes: FA/SP and SUM online only Or MET-1231 Introduction to Engineering Design Using 3D CAD
Description: Polynomial, radical, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs, roots of polynomial functions, rational and polynomial inequalities, conic sections, systems of linear equations; sequences and series. Trigonometric functions of angles, solving right and oblique triangles, trigonometric identities and equations, vectors, radian measure, graphs of trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions and applications. Traditional testing (proctored or in Testing Center) is used in all online sections.
Notes: Or MAT-1470 College Algebra AND MAT-1570 Trigonometry (must be completed in separate terms)
Prerequisites: MAT 0300 and Other (With a grade of C or better or satisfactory score on math placement test)
Description: In English Composition I students learn reflective, analytical and argumentative writing strategies, incorporating sources and personal experience. Students will negotiate between public and private rhetorical situations and purposes to achieve academic literacy. They will write multiple drafts using a recursive writing process as they work toward fluency in style and mechanics. Note: Students who have not successfully completed the pre-requisites listed can register for ENG 1101 together with the co-requisite course ENG 0101 - English Composition I Booster.
Prerequisites: DEV 0035 or Other (Placement Test Score)
Term hours subtotal:
16
Description: Terminology, designations of metals and the relationship among the properties of metals, the environment and heat treatment processes. Selecting and testing materials. Factors related to the selection of nonmetallic materials and the relationship between the nature of the materials and their properties. Thermoplastics, thermosetting, ceramics, composites and glasses are included. Three classroom, three lab hours per week.
Notes: SPRING ONLY (PreReq: MAT-1570 or MAT-1580 MET-1111 or MET-1161)
Prerequisites: MET 1111 or MET 1161 or MAT 1570 or MAT 1580
Description: Analysis of various types of two and three dimensional force systems, analysis of trusses, frames, friction, center of gravity and moment of inertia. Two classroom, three lab hours per week.
Notes: FA/SP and sometimes SUMMER (PreReq: MAT-1570 or MAT-1580 and MET-1111 and MET-1161)
