EGR 201 focuses on human endeavors in science as refracted through literature. The course brings together two distinct traditions: the study of literature and the practice of technical communication.

This is a cross-disciplinary course open to all majors. This course critically examines issues associated with the technical economic, societal, environmental, and geopolitical aspects of energy. The course is taught through lectures, discussion, and invited speakers.

Project or activity led by an engineering faculty member, designed to provide students the opportunity to apply engineering principles in the context of real-world and multi-disciplinary community-based problems. May be repeated to a maximum of nine credits.

Participation in team development exercises, seminars, company visits, and activities associated with the BS/MBA program.

Floating point arithmetic. Direct methods for the solution of systems of linear algebraic equations. Polynomial and piecewise polynomial approximation, orthogonal polynomials. Numerical integration: Newton Cotes formulas and Gaussian quadrature. Basic methods for initial value problems for ordinary differential equations. The emphasis throughout is on the under- standing and use of software packages for the solution of commonly occurring problems in science and engineering.

This course provides an introduction to the theories and industry practices related to power economics and power public policy. Topics studied include: U.S. power markets, electric utility business regulation, electric utility environmental regulation, public policy theory, political science theory, development of new electric generation facilities, utility business operation, engineering influence on public policy, and engineering economic analysis.

An experimental, interdisciplinary course devoted to a topic of interest to students in several departments of the college. Only three credits may be earned under the same title; students may register for more than one section each semester. A particular topic may be offered at most three times under the EGR 599 number.

This course will provide unique experiences through visits to a variety of energy-related sites and presentations from topical experts. The course begins with preparations through readings, videos, and assignments. The course then has a week-long tour of selected energy related sites, which may include: pumped storage site, coal mine, coal- and gas-fired and nuclear power plants, power operations center, wind farm, hydroelectric generation, landfill gas site, smart grid demonstration center, solar farm, high efficiency building, etc. in the region.

This course is an introduction to the study of communities of practice (also known as professional learning communities) and collaborative leadership roles intended to support school changes that contribute to all students learning at high levels.

ELS 616 is a study of evolving perspectives of the purposes of public education, leadership within and beyond the school building to support family-community partnerships and networks, and leadership to ensure inclusive classrooms. Curriculum includes how diverse personnel ensure school-wide safety.
