3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): SEAS undergraduates must have already fulfilled their SEAS Writing Requirement. Students will learn methods and approaches for written technical communication within the engineering environment. These include strategies for maximum effectiveness in writing technical documentation, reports, instructions, and proposals. Assignments will include self-editing and peer editing techniques, as well as strategies to effectively mentor other writers.

3.00 Credits
Any university student interested in energy and its impacts, preferably at the upper level undergraduate and non-engineering graduate level of maturity. Students taking the course as EAS 501 will be given assignments commensurate with graduate standing. The objective is to introduce students to one of the most dominating and compelling areas of human existence and endeavor: energy, with its foundations in technology, association to economics, and impacts on ecology and society. This introduction is intended both for general education and awareness and for preparation for careers related to this field. The course spans from basic principles to applications. A review of energy consumption, use, and resources; ecological impacts, sustainability and design of sustainable energy systems; methods of energy analysis; forecasting; electricity generation systems (steam and gas turbine based power plants, fuel cells), energy for transportation (cars, aircraft, and ships); nuclear energy and wastes; renewable energy use: solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass; prospects for future energy systems: fusion power, power generation in space.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): Any undergraduate and graduate university student interested in renewable energy and its impacts, preferably at the upper level undergraduate and non-engineering graduate level of maturity. The objective is to introduce students to the major aspects of renewable energy, with its foundations in technology, association to economics, and impacts on ecology and society. This introduction is intended both for general education and awareness and for preparation for careers related to this field. The course spans from basic principles to applications. A review of solar, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, geothermal energy, and prospects for future energy systems such as renewable power generation in space.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite(s): MATH 241 and PHYS 151. The objective of this course is to equip students with the background needed to carry out finite elements-based simulations of various engineering problems. The first part of the course will outline the theory of finite elements. The second part of the course will address the solution of classical equations of mathematical physics such as Laplace, Poisson, Helmholtz, the wave and the Heat equations. The third part of the course will consist of case studies taken from various areas of engineering and the sciences on topics that require or can benefit from finite element modeling. The students will gain hand-on experience with the multi-physics, finite element package FemLab.

3.00 Credits
The Senior Capstone Project is required for all BAS degree students, in lieu of the senior design course. The Capstone Project provides an opportunity for the student to apply the theoretical ideas and tools learned from other courses. The project is usually applied, rather than theoretical, exercise, and should focus on a real world problem related to the career goals of the student. The one-semester project may be completed in either the fall or sprong term of the senior year, and must be done under the supervision of a sponsoring faculty member. To register for this course, the student must submit a detailed proposal, signed by the supervising professor, and the student's faculty advisor, to the Office of Academic Programs two weeks prior to the start of the term.

3.00 Credits
This course is not intended for nonnative speakers of English and will not address their specific language needs. Students whose native language is not English should register for EAS 510. Students will learn methods and approaches for written technical communication within the engineering environment. These include strategies for maximum effectiveness in writing technical documentation, reports, instructions, and proposals. Assignments will include self-editing and peer editing techniques, as well as strategies to effectively mentor other writers.

3.00 Credits
Graduate students whose native language is English, but who would benefit from a course in Technical Communication, should take EAS 500. Students will improve the grammar, word choice and organization of their professional writing by completing weekly writing assignments and a full-length research paper. Students will also give short oral presentations and receive feedback on pronunciation, wording, grammar and organization.
