COURSE TITLE: Engineering 10B – Software Tools and Design. Four
Lecture/Laboratory hours (2 Credits).
PREREQUISITES: Math 855; 92; and 95.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: This course introduces the student to team oriented engineering
design and problem solving processes as well as the use of
computers in the solution of a wide variety of engineering problems.
The course makes use of a variety of software applications
including commercial spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel and a
graphics program such as Matlab in solving problems. Throughout
the course, emphasis will be given to technical communications,
teamwork, engineering design and problem solving methodologies.

ATTENDANCE: You are expected to attend all class meetings. Any extenuating
circumstances should be brought to instructor’s attention in advance
(in person, by phone or via email). Students are responsible for
making up for the missed reading and lab assignments. Absences in
excess of three lectures may result in your being either dropped or
withdrawn from the class; whichever is appropriate according to
college regulations. If you wish to drop the class (withdrawing from
the class is the student’s responsibility), do so by following the
required paperwork. Do not expect to be automatically dropped just
because you stop attending.
TEAMWORK: You will be required to work in teams for a number of assignments.
Please make yourself available to meet and work with your teams
outside of class. The instructor will form all the teams.
ASSIGNED PROBLEMS: You are expected to collaborate with your teammates to solve many
assigned problems. On team project reports, you will turn in one
report for your team. However, each student must submit his or her
own solutions for homework problems - copying is not permitted
and will be penalized. Follow guidelines for solving problems
otherwise solutions may not be accepted.
ACADEMIC HONESTY: Students who are found to have submitted dishonest materials may
suffer the following consequences: (1) a grade of zero (0) will be
given for the assignment in question; and (2) a report of the incident
will be filed with the university. This report may stay on your
permanent collegiate record and may also be subject to further
disciplinary action being taken by the university. Dishonest
materials consist of papers you wrote for someone else, papers
someone else wrote for you, plagiarism, and tests that you took for
someone else or that someone else took for you.
