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)

Different speakers of importance to the engineering profession will make presentations. Included are area engineering leaders and professionals as well as nationally recognized contributors to the profession of engineering. A two page '4MAT' response which includes a one page executive summary will be required. (1 unit; Fall/Spring)»

Team design of industrial or self-designed projects. Requires the design and development of a process or product with oral and written reports. Includes a review and analysis of professional papers. Pre- or Co- Requisite: EGR 305. (3 units; Fall/Spring)

Preparation for a lifetime of leadership as an engineer. Small group discussion format, with opportunities for student facilitated discussions. Topics include: leadership in organizations, emotional intelligence, the psychology of small group dynamics and team performance, global perspectives of engineering. Written executive summaries as part of a “4MAT” like response will be required prior to discussion. Prerequisite: Permission of the Department Chair. (1 unit; Spring)

An introduction to the primary statistical and probabilistic models used in the collection and interpretation of engineering data. The focus is on summary techniques, regression models, and application of the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, and analysis of variance. Prerequisite: MAT 245. (2 units; Fall/Spring)

Designed to prepare you for the official internship during your junior summer. Discussion and development of the individual's priorities for their learning contract. Topics include: resume and internship writing, finding an internship, how you will be assessed as an intern, the psychology of the workplace, different types of bosses and working on teams, and the different types of work environment. (1 unit; Fall)

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)

A continuation of EGR 401. Further development of the project will take place and will involve testing as appropriate. Teams will develop proper documentation for their projects and will appropriately communicate and present the results of their project. A final presentation is given to the public which could include members of the engineering advisory council. The presentation will be recorded and included as a part of students' senior portfolios. Prerequisite: EGR 401. (3 units; Spring)

An executive summary of your summer intern experience, signed by your supervisor will be submitted the first day of class. A PowerPoint presentation to the entire class and evaluated by your professors and peers will be made. A video of your presentation will be made and feedback will be provided. Prerequisite: Permission of the Department Chair. (1 unit; Fall/Spring)

Algorithms are the heart of any computer software; they define the procedure for accomplishing a data-intensive task. This course establishes terms and methods for talking about algorithms, examines some of the basic algorithms for sorting, searching and other fundamental tasks, and explores more advanced algorithms in bioinformatics and other fields. Prerequisite: EGR 227. (3 units; Spring)

This course will provide an overview of the salient math topics most heavily used in the core sophomore-level engineering courses. These include trigonometry, vectors, complex numbers, sinusoids and harmonic signals, systems of equations and matrices, derivatives, integrals, differential equations and Fourier series within the context of an engineering application. These concepts will be reinforced through extensive examples of their use in the core engineering curriculum. Students may only earn credit for either EGR 182 or EGR 182L. Prerequisite: EGR 181 or MAT 115. (4 units; Fall/Spring)

Introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics as they apply to computer science, focusing on providing a solid theoretical foundation for further work. Topics include functions, relations, sets, simple proof techniques, Boolean algebra, propositional logic, digital logic, elementary number theory, and the fundamentals of counting. (3.0 units; Fall)

The course introduces numerical methods for computing using standard Numerical Libraries. Students will solve matrix equations with decompositions, including LU and QR. The Singular Value Decompositions are covered in depth as the foundation for Natural Language Processing. Prerequisite: MAT 255. (2 units; Fall)
