E 115 Introduction to Programming
An introduction to the use of an advanced programming language for use in engineering applications, using C++ as the basic programming language and Microsoft Visual C++ as the program development environment. Topics covered include basic syntax (data types and structures, input/output instructions, arithmetic instructions, loop constructs, functions, subroutines, etc.) needed to solve basic engineering problems as well as an introduction to advanced topics (use of files, principles of objects and classes, libraries, etc.). Algorithmic thinking for development of computational programs and control programs from mathematical and other representations of the problems will be developed. Basic concepts of computer architectures impacting the understanding of a high-level programming language will be covered. Basic concepts of a microcontroller architecture impacting the use of a high-level programming language for development of microcontroller software will be covered, drawing specifically on the microcontroller used in E121 (Engineering Design I). |
E 120 Engineering Graphics
Engineering graphics: principles of orthographic and auxiliary projections, pictorial presentation of engineering designs, dimensioning and tolerance, sectional and detail views, assembly drawings. Descriptive geometry. Engineering figures and graphs. Solid modeling introduction to computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) using numerically-controlled (NC) machines. |
E 121 Engineering Design I
This course introduces students to the process of design and seeks to engage their enthusiasm for engineering from the very beginning of the program. The engineering method is used in the design and manufacture of a product. Product dissection is exploited to evaluate how others have solved design problems. Development is started of competencies in professional practice topics, primarily: effective group participation, project management, cost estimation, communication skills and ethics. Engineering Design I is linked to and taught concurrently with the Engineering Graphics course. Engineering graphics are used in the design projects and the theme of "fit to form" is developed.

E 300 Special Topics in Sustainable Engineering
This is a multidisciplinary course addressing contemporary issues in sustainable engineering. The course is primarily project-based with relevant lectures and seminars from the instructor and guest speakers. Each student or group of students will develop a plan of project activities appropriate for the assigned credits under the supervision of an advisor and may include a co-advisor from outside Stevens. The scope of the project must not duplicate any activity for which credit has been or is being obtained in another course. This course is open to engineering undergraduate students from any discipline with at least sophomore standing. This course can be used as an elective in the Green Engineering Minor.Prerequisites: at least sophomore standing in an engineering program AND by permission of the instructor. |
E 301 International Educational Experiences I
This course designation provides a vehicle to award general elective academic credit to approved international educational experiences that meet School of Engineering and Science/engineering program educational outcomes, but would not otherwise be transferable as equivalent to a Stevens course or courses. Multiple activities can be combined for approval if they present a coherent whole that addresses school/program outcomes. The program or activities must be approved for credit by the School of Engineering and Science Education and Assessment Committee. |
E 302 International Educational Experiences II
This course designation provides a vehicle to award general elective academic credit to approved international educational experiences that meet School of Engineering and Science/engineering program educational outcomes, but would not otherwise be transferable as equivalent to a Stevens course or courses. Multiple activities can be combined for approval if they present a coherent whole that addresses school/program outcomes. The program or activities must be approved for credit by the School of Engineering and Science Education and Assessment Committee. |

E 321 Engineering Design V
This course includes both experimentation and open-ended design problems that are integrated with the Materials Processing course taught concurrently. Core design themes are further developed.
Corequisites: E 344
|
E 322 Engineering Design VI
This course allows each discipline to address design topics specific to their discipline, but in the context of how design in the discipline fits into an integrated product and process development (IPPD) paradigm where appropriate. Even where IPPD is not significant to the discipline, students will gain some appreciation through specific requirements. The later part of this course is structured to allow for project selection, team formation and preparation of a proposal suitable for submission to a potential sponsor for the senior design capstone project. The core design themes will be further developed. Offered as a discipline specific course (e.g.: CE322, CHE322, CPE322, EE322, EM322, EN322, ME322, PEP322).
