Calculus I
Functions, limits, continuity, bounds, sets; the derivative of functions and applications; exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse functions. Not open to those with credit in MATH-154, MATH-156, MATH-157 or MATH-158. Students may incur incidental expenses for software.

Introduction to Engineering Materials
Exposure to engineering materials, their properties, and behavior. Topics will include: material types, testing, mechanical properties, heat treatment, and material selection. Students are expected to have had H.S. chemistry.

Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer
Application of thermodynamics and heat transfer fundamentals to the design and analysis of manufacturing processes and systems.

Introduction to Plastics
Examine basics of molecular structure, mechanical behavior, and rheological properties of plastics. Overview of plastics processing, new technologies related to processing, post-consumer-life, and introduction to ASTM/ISO standards used for testing and materials characterization.

Injection Molding Technology
Injection molding process parameters, part and tooling design, materials selection, quoting, rapid prototyping, troubleshooting, and cycle time reduction efforts. Laboratory experiments for understanding various technologies associated with injection molding of quality parts.

Engineering Graphics Fundamentals
Fundamentals of engineering graphics: principles, standards and graphic language necessary to communicate technical information on industrial drawings. Includes appropriate software, visualization, geometric concepts and dimensioning basics.

Machine Vision and Robotics
Design of machine vision and industrial robotic applications, including cost justification.

Engineering Economy
Source and application of funds: cost control, valuation, depreciation, replacement theory and taxation.
