This is the first course in a two-course sequence in computational problem solving of engineering and scientific problems. The problems solved will stress the application of sequence, selection, repetitive, invocation operations, and arrays. The development of proper testing procedures to ensure computational accuracy will be stressed. Students, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to analyze introductory engineering and scientific problems, design, code, test, and document procedural software solutions.

Special Topics is an experimental lower-division course intended as a means for offering innovative topics not currently reflected in either the Computer or Electrical Engineering Technology curriculums

This course will provide students with an introduction to operating systems theory, and practical problem solving approaches to real-time systems. An embedded real-time operating system is used as the foundation for a variety of programming projects. Students, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to understand the operation and describe the various components of an operating system. They will be able to evaluate design trade-offs and selection criteria for different types of operating systems, and demonstrate the ability to write multiple process that run together within an embedded, real-time operating system.

This faculty directed undergraduate research experience involves student(s) in a research project. Under the guidance of CET faculty and using one or a variety of methods, students will collect data and contribute to problem solving within a research environment. As an undergraduate research experience, emphasis is on the process of scientific research, including problem definition, formulating a research plan, data collection/analysis and interpretation based on existing research. Department permission is required.

Doctoral-level research by the candidate on an appropriate topic as arranged between the candidate and the research advisor.
