PROBLEM SOLVING USING COMPUTER TOOLS

Prerequisites & course information

Requisites: MATH 222 or member of Engineering Guest Students Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Fall 2026 Learning Outcomes: 1. Use spreadsheet software to perform fundamental civil, environmental, and geological engineering calculations, analyze datasets using logical filters, and interpret numeric data meant to represent time and text values Audience: Undergraduate 2. Use computer programming as a tool to streamline engineering data analysis tasks, create visualizations, obtain numerical approximations, and retrieve data from local and remote (web-based) data sources Audience: Undergraduate 3. Use automatic levels, total stations, and aerial photography to conduct land surveying operations and collect the type of geospatial data required for creating drawings that support engineering design Audience: Undergraduate 4. Explain how measuring devices (data acquisition systems and sensors) work, use measuring devices to record/monitor the physical properties of a system, and use sensor readings as the foundation to control devices in the physical world Audience: Undergraduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
