Study of technical and scientific reporting, including mass media theory. Emphasis on making technical information understood by a general audience. Students practice many in-house and external forms of writing such as news releases, feature articles, bulletins, brochures, and pamphlets. Cross-listed and COMM 3050.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will explore film as a contemporary literary expression. Students will consider the historical development of film as a distinct genre and its relationship to the literary forms of narrative, plot, setting, and character.
-

Introduction to rhetoric as the relationship between thought and expression. Examines connections between rhetoric and writing, between a public act and a personal thinking process, by exploring classical and contemporary accounts of rhetorical history and theory. Students apply theory to their own writing as they explore the relationship between writers, readers, and subjects and the range of options they have available to them as communicators. Cross-listed as COMM 4160.
-

Students will explore the relationship between the form and content of narration. The course will look at a range of media within a historical perspective including (but not limited to): newspapers, novels, film, radio, television, and various digital media. Students will explore how media theory affects literary studies, and vice versa.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines portfolios as professional tools for technical communicators. The course includes portfolio and writing theory along with a collaborative workshop environment. Students develop a professional portfolio of sample documents based on course project, internship experiences, and/or work history. In addition, students write a reflective paper examining their growth and maturity as technical communicators. Interviewing techniques, resume writing, and the job search process are included in the course. Cross-listed as TCOM 4800.

This course is made of two distinct parts. The first part of the course is a study of stress and strain of deformable bodies in tension, compression, bending, and torsion. Topics covered include: axial stress and strain; thermal stress and strain; statically indeterminate systems; torsional stress and strain; bending stresses in beams; beam deflections; combined stresses; and finite element analysis methods. The second part of the course is a study of metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composites as related to design. Areas include corrosion, atomic structure, mechanical properties, fatigue, and the effects of alloying, hot- and cold-working and heat treating. The lab work includes tensile testing, heat treating, impact testing, hardness testing, and corrosion.

4.00 Credits
This course will focus on the fundamentals of linear algebra as applied to electrical, mechanical, and mechatronic engineering applications. Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of state-space theory of linear systems, and to apply the theory to the modeling, analysis, and design of real-world systems. The student should be able to complete calculations by hand for small problems, or by using Matlab for larger problems.
