25.1356.7In the OSU course, students follow the complete design cycle for each of the labs.Implementation: This course introduces students to the methods by which math topics are usedin engineering science and design courses. Students apply mathematics through experimentationand design projects. Both analytical and computational (MATLAB) techniques are used for dataanalysis and graphical representation. The course objectives are listed below. At the conclusionof the course the students should be able to: a) Use algebra, systems of equations, trigonometry, sinusoids, derivatives, and integrals in solving engineering analysis and design problems b) Work effectively in teams c) Communicate engineering work effectively in written form
