Core Engineering Requirements

  

General Education

The general education requirements will follow the curriculum set forth for other university programs. Some general education requirements will be met through specific Computer Science requirements. Approximately eighteen (18) units of general education are not met in the specific core and Computer Science requirements.

 

Lower Division Core Engineering Requirements (11-15 units)

The course serves as an introduction to the exciting field and vocation of engineering and the value of engineering education. This course includes guest lectures describing various engineering disciplines, team-based introductory projects, community service, and weekly readings that focus on how to be successful as an engineering student. The weekly readings include topics on self-discovery, goal setting, work-life balance, and understanding the teaching/learning process. A course emphasis includes Christian perspectives on purpose, integrity, and service as they relate to the vocation of engineering. This is the first course required of all students considering engineering as a major. Note: This is a required course for Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management Majors. Pre- or Co- Requisite: ICS 105. (3 units; Fall)

Engineering is a discipline which requires the effective communication of visual information as part of persuasion or education. Excel (beginning and advanced techniques), and a CAD program will be covered to assist in that process for a real current engineering problem of interest. For example this might include the utilization of solar power in Riverside County to address energy consumption concerns. This course lays the foundation for future courses which have elements of data and information presentation. (3 units; Fall/Spring)

The first of a two course senior capstone design sequence. Various design topics may be discussed including equipment design, the design of process systems, and economics. Student teams select a project which may involve company sponsorship, and proceed through the design methodology introduced in earlier design classes, incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints. Every project has a 'customer' which requires the generation of a customer spec. During the sequence students provide detailed schedules for building a prototype system or designing a process and present weekly progress reports. They also produce technical specifications, undergo a preliminary design review (PDR), and build a working prototype system if appropriate. Prerequisite: EGR 302 or 352. (3 units; Fall)

General Concentration (15 units)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with the design and analysis of autonomous agents that perceive their environment and make rational decisions. This course introduces the basic definitions and issues in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Students will create reasoning systems in software and explore their capabilities in dealing with new knowledge. Ethical issues in AI will be presented and examined from a Christian perspective. Prerequisite: EGR 227 (3 units; Spring)

Complete 9 additional units from the following:

This course covers introductory machine learning topics including supervised and unsupervised learning, linear and logistic regression, support vector machines, neural networks (MLPs, CNNs, RNNs, GANs) and more. Coursework includes instruction and programming assignments in algorithmic implementations and high-level library usage. Students also apply machine learning techniques to a unique research project. Prerequisites: EGR 120 or 121, and one of the following: EGR 305, MAT 353, STA 144, 310, or one additional approved statistic course. (3 units; Fall)

The course commences with an examination of the knowledge discovery process. In particular, the introduction equips students with the strategic thinking skills essential to focus on cutting edge data mining techniques that can be applied in a wide variety of settings, e.g., business, engineering, health care, science, etc. Traditional topics include data mining algorithms and implementation issues, advantages and disadvantages of data mining, and examples of knowledge engineering. Current topics such as ubiquitous, distributed, and spatiotemporal geographic data mining will also be explored. This is a practical hands-on course that culminates in a real-world project implemented via open source tools. Prerequisites: EGR 120 or 121, and one of the following: EGR 305, MAT 353, STA 144, 310, or one additional approved statistics course. (3 units; Fall)

Natural language is ubiquitous, e.g., humans speak and write to communicate, to transfer information, and to document knowledge. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an integral component in countless information systems requiring advanced manipulation of natural language. In this class, students will be introduced to NLP starting with the concept of understanding words in context and the need for natural language processing in the business environment. The discussion continues with a detailed study of words and is a foundational framework supporting phonetics and speech synthesis. Subsequent topics include concepts of how words are grouped together to form unique grammatical units. The last part of the course, explores solving real-world NLP problems and deals with two key areas: corpus building, feature engineering, and application development. Course material is presented via theory-based lectures, group discussion, and practical labs-a culminating research project will be individually crafted. Prerequisites: EGR 120 or 121, and one of the following: EGR 305, MAT 353, STA 144, 310, or one additional approved statistics course. (3 units; Spring)

This course provides an in-depth look into the fundamentals of packet-switched network traffic analysis at the network layer and above as applied to problems in traffic engineering, economics, security, etc. The course will explore the design and integration of analytic tools and techniques into the fabric of the network including: spatial and temporal anomaly detection, origin-destination matrix estimation, application mix determination, deep-packet inspection, fingerprinting, intrusion detection and insider threat mitigation. Finally, the course covers active defense and offensive methods reliant on traffic analysis. Contains a lab component. Prerequisite: CSC 431. (3 units; Spring)

This course provides an in-depth look to define the nature and scope of cyber security incident handling services, including intrusion/incident detection, damage control, service continuity, forensic analysis, service/data restoration, and incident reporting. Material covers policy, planning, operations, and technology issues involved in related cyber incident handling plans; i.e., Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, and Continuity of Operations. Specific incident types addressed include, natural disasters, denial of service, malicious code, malicious misuse of hardware and firmware, unauthorized access, data compromise and inappropriate use, including insider attacks. Emphasis is given to the detection and analysis of infiltration and exfiltration techniques employed during cyber attacks, thus enabling the incident handler to detect low noise attacks, and to deconstruct particularly insidious attacks. Contains a lab component. Prerequisite: CSC 431 (3 units; Fall)
