ENGR 108 - Introduction to Computing for Engineers and Scientists (2,2) 3 Credits
Prerequisite(s): MATH 112 - Precalculus I , or equivalent. This is a one semester course intended to introduce engineering and science majors to the main features of MATLAB and its application to engineering and scientific problem-solving. MATLAB excels at computations involving matrices which are used extensively in many engineering disciplines.
Topics include an introduction to programming in MATLAB, including matrix operations, functions, arrays, loops and selection structures, working with data files and plotting. Students can apply this knowledge to learning other programming languages, such as C, C++, and Pascal as well as use MATLAB as a tool in their other engineering classes.
