4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: TST 161, ETE 271 This is an advanced course in the design of structures with an emphasis on understanding the historical and contemporary influence of designed objects on end users and society. Content includes key design themes from the Industrial Revolution to the present, architectural style, product development, civil engineering and structural analysis, and human factors. A Design (Style) Case Study is used to better understand the influence of human design on the individual, society, and the environment. A thematic approach is used to select some problems for this course.

2.00 Credits
Co-requisites: ETE 111, ETE 271 or permission of instructor This is an advanced laboratory course designed to give students hands-on experiences with a variety of modeling techniques, tools, and machines. Students will make a variety of products including a mockup model, appearance model and prototype model. The experience is designed to develop the student's fabrication skills with advanced techniques to produce high quality models for product development.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ETE 271 This course combines the knowledge of the previous mechanical oriented courses and considers applications where the only possible engineering solution requires a combination of these mechanical engineering concepts. Some examples are HVAC systems, internal combustion engines, fuel cells, power plants, space vehicles, and automobiles. Examples of mechanical systems will be covered by means of case studies. Students will work in teams to solve a series of design problems. These design problems will require that the student teams apply the methodology of engineering analysis to iterate an optimal solution that satisfies multiple criteria (e.g., weight, size, cost, ease of assembly, recyclability, etc.)

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Sophomore or above status This course introduces the student to digital electronics as they are designed and used in modern electrical devices. This course covers the binary number system, Boolean algebra and basic digital logic circuits.The course then moves on to applications of digital circuits such as digital signal processing and digital process control. This course will also cover programming fundamentals using the C programming language and Mathematica. Some basic digital concepts covered include the use of AND, OR and NOT gates, flip-flops, counters, adders and shifters. Building on the basic digital logic concepts, microprocessors are discussed, as well as how they are used to achieve state machines or Stored Program Control.

2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ETE 381 or permission of instructor This course extends the scope of the hands-on components experiences of ETE 281 and ETE 381. Control systems can be either analog or digital (or a mix of both). This course is primarily a lab course where students build a variety of analog and digital control circuits/systems. Analog controls include a basic understanding of transducers, as well as a variety of widely applicable control circuits that can be used technology education courses. Some analog circuit examples include effective uses of relays, DPDT switches and 555-timer chips. Students spend approximately 2/3 of the course time on digital controls & robotic systems, including NXT Lego kits and Arduino microprocessor kits. Visual programming techniques are covered using the NXT Lego kits while structured line programming is done with the Arduino kits. Students are given the opportunity to build and test various electrical systems that introduce a wide range of electrical and electro/mechanical components such as optical encoders, sensors and actuators.

2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Junior standing This course is the prerequisite for ETE 495/Senior Design Project. This course will provide an in-depth coverage of the design process and assist students in defining a project to be implemented in ETE 495.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ETE 271 Co-requisite: ETE 275 This course challenges advanced students to design multi-step, automated production systems, including related elements of coordination, management, evaluation and continuous improvement. It documents the effects of mass production on individuals and society, and engages students with issues of economics, ethics and globalization.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Recommendation of faculty adviser, approval of department chair Topics is an advanced course dealing with an emerging issue in technological studies.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ETE2 271 and Junior or above standing The course involves the design of technological facilities, selecting and specifying equipment, and planning for the management of that facility. Safety and working with students in a materials/tool/equipment environment is a key component of the course (New Jersey requires technology education certification for any teacher working with students in a materials laboratory setting). Using real-world design constraints from a selected school district, students design a facility to support a technological/preengineering studies program.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ETE 395 Senior Design Project is a culminating experience that provides the structure for students to further develop their design, problem solving and technical skills. Intended to come at the end of the program, students draw from their experiences to solve a major technical problem, including research, solution planning and development, testing and evaluation.
