ENGR 2300 Linear Algebra for Engineers (3 semester hours) Matrices, vectors, linear systems of equations, Gauss-Jordan elimination, LU factorization and rank. Vector spaces, linear dependence/independence, basis, and change of basis. Linear transformations and matrix representation; similarity, scalar products, orthogonality, Gram-Schmidt procedures, and QR factorization. Determinants: eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and diagonalization. Introduction to problem solving using MATLAB. This course includes a required laboratory. Students cannot get credit for both ENGR 2300 and MATH 2418. Pre- or corequisite: MATH 2414 or MATH 2419. (2-1) S

ENGR 3300 Advanced Engineering Mathematics (3 semester hours) Survey of advanced mathematics topics needed in the study of engineering. Topics include review of complex numbers, multivariate calculus and analytic geometry. Study of polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates, vector differential calculus, vector integral calculus, and vector integral theorems. Examples are provided from electromagnetic, fluid mechanics, physics and geometry. Prerequisite: MATH 2415 or MATH 2419. (3-0) S

ENGR 4343 Engineering Economy (3 semester hours) The objective of this course is to introduce undergraduate students to economic evaluation and analysis of engineering projects and proposals. Economic tools are essential for planning and design of engineering systems in today's ever-changing high-tech world. This course will also prepare the electrical engineering students for the "Engineering Economy" portion of the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam required for the professional engineer's license. Prerequisites: MATH 2413 or MATH 2417 and upper-division standing. (3-0) T
