Courses

SET 110L. Electromechanical Design and CAD Laboratory. 3 Hours

Modern design techniques to develop electromechanical devices and industrial layouts. This is achieved through the application of commercial design software: -Mechanical Computer Aided Design (CAD) software for design of mechanical components and assemblies -SPICE model for electrical circuits leading to CAD software for printed circuit board (PCB) design -Integration of electrical and mechanical components -2D CAD software for mechanical drawings and industrial layout drawings -Development of engineering drawings to standard specifications and industry practices.

SET 151. Engineering Analysis I and Programming with Lab. 3 Hours

Overview of the mathematics topics heavily used in sophomore-level engineering technology courses and an introduction to algorithmic thinking and data analytics . Topics include algebraic analysis, trigonometry, vectors, sinusoids, systems of equations and matrices, differentiation, and integration. All topics are motivated by engineering applications and utilize modern spreadsheet and software programming tools.

SET 198. Research & Innovation Laboratory. 1-6 Hours

Students participate in 1) selection and design, 2) investigation and data collection, 3) analysis and 4) presentation of a research project. Research can include, but is not limited to, developing an experiment, collecting and analyzing data, surveying and evaluating literature, developing new tools and techniques including software, and surveying, brainstorming and evaluating engineering solutions and engineering designs. Proposals from teams of students will be considered. Prerequisite(s): Permission of department chairperson.

SET 250. Engineering Analysis II. 3 Hours

Integration of mathematical skills learned in calculus and statistics with engineering applications and analyses. Advanced engineering analysis methods will be introduced.
