Computer Applications for Tech
|
4 QH |
Studies the basics of computing in a microprocessor environment (DOS, Windows,
MAC, word processing, databases, spreadsheets), with emphasis on applications
relevant to technology students. Provides a solid foundation upon which
students can develop more extensive computer expertise. Acquired skills are
transferable to subsequent courses, cooperative education assignments, and
personal and professional endeavors.
Provides a series of laboratory experiments introducing basic engineering
technology concepts through hands-on experiments in instrumentation.
Investigates concepts including voltage, current, resistance, series circuits,
parallel circuits, force, length, and mass. Goals are to provide students with
additional hands-on experiences and a basis to help them choose their major.
Provides a series of laboratory experiments introducing basic engineering
technology concepts through hands-on experiments in instrumentation.
Investigates concepts including time varying signals, temperature, pressure,
heat transfer, and strain. Goals are to provide students with additional
hands-on experiences and a basis to help them choose their major.
Introduces manual and computer engineering drawing using geometric
constructions, charts, and graphs. Geometric construction includes descriptive
geometry, orthographic projection, sections, and isometric drawing.
Studies computer and manual drawing in layout and assembly graphics. Topics
include manufacturing processes, fasteners, gears, welding, electric/electronic
drawing, architectural/structural drawing, piping, and topography. Design
project required. Prereq. GET1170 or equivalent.
Provides an introduction to Windows programming using Visual Basic 3.0. Topics
include event-driven and object-oriented programming, designing of applications
in a graphical environment, and programming in a cooperative multitasking
environment. Students are expected to devote considerable time to assignments
and to complete a programming project of their own design. Prereq. GET1105.
Uses a case-study approach to examine basic ethical issues likely to confront
engineering students on co-op and in their after-graduation professional
practice. Attention is given to issues such as licensing, dissent with
management, employee responsibilities, trade secrecy versus publication rights,
advertising, and product liability. Discusses these issues in the context of
the codes of engineering ethics of the engineering societies and general
ethical theory. Prereq. Middler standing or permission of instructor.
Presents fundamental accounting concepts and terminology, including assets,
liability, net worth, and analyzing income statements and balance sheets.
Discusses introductory steps in analyzing investment proposals, time value of
money, and cash flows. Analyzes cash flows in terms of present worth, annual
worth, rate of return, and benefit/cost ratio. Considers depreciation and tax
effects on cash flows. Prereq. MTH1191.
