This course is designed to provide additional support for students enrolled in MATH 111 or Math 112 whose placement score indicates they would benefit from extra support. The course will meet in a laboratory environment for one hour per week and will look in detail at topics as they are coming up in MATH 111 and 112. Graded credit/no credit. Credits not applicable toward graduation.
This course is designed to provide additional support for students enrolled in MATH 130 whose placement score indicates they would benefit from extra support. The course will meet in a laboratory environment for one hour per week and will look in detail at topics as they are coming up in MATH 130. Graded credit/no credit. Credits not applicable toward graduation.

Real number system, properties, and order of operations. Area and perimeter of rectangles, areas, and circles. Algebraic problem solving. Exponents and radicals. Factoring polynomials, algebra of rational expressions, solving equations by factoring. Credits not applicable toward graduation. Graded CR/NC.
Students will participate in an off-campus engineering internship, applying course knowledge and skills to problems within a work environment. Internship placements must be established prior to enrollment in this course in consultation with careers office and/or science/engineering faculty member. May be repeated for credit. Permission of instructor required.
Course includes both lecture and lab components per week. Study the interactions of energy and matter. Learn and apply the 0th, 1st, and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, work and heat, free energy, entropy, enthalpy. Learn how equations of state relate quantities such as temperature, pressure, volume, and internal energy for ideal gases and more complex systems. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in PHYS 260.
Course includes both lecture and lab components per week. Learn about fundamental crystal structures, elastic constants, stress and strain due to mechanical deformation and thermal expansion, and plastic deformation. Use the Schmid factor to determine active slip systems. Learn how to model viscoelasticity and select optimal materials using Ashby plots. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 250.
This graduate-level course introduces fundamental principles and practices in embedded systems design and builds upon these principles to study the interaction of computer systems (CPU, memory) and interfacing with those systems. The course covers microcontroller/microprocessor architecture, real-time operating systems (RTOS), hardware/software co-design, system-on-chip (SoC) architectures, and interfacing with peripherals. Prerequisite: three credits of introductory programming and a discrete math course.
Explore engineering career options through tours of local engineering companies and guest speakers. Sharpen mathematic and technical skills essential to higher level courses. Learn the fundamentals of free-hand sketching and basic drafting instruments, and gain exposure to computer-aided drafting. Prepare for internships and careers by creating a resume and becoming familiar with Viterbo Universitys career services.
