  • ENG EK 125: Introduction to Programming for Engineers
    An introduction to programming concepts and modern computational environments used to solve engineering problems. Basic procedural programming concepts including input/output, selection, looping, functions, data structures (arrays, strings, structures), pointers, and memory management. Introduction to object-oriented programming concepts and terminology and event-driven programming. Emphasis on programming style, debugging, top-down design and modular code. Introduction to a command line interface and a high-level language. Effective Fall 2018, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU Hub areas: Quantitative Reasoning I, Creativity/Innovation.
    • Quantitative Reasoning I
    • Creativity/Innovation
  • ENG EK 210: Introduction to Engineering Design
    A two credit introductory course to the principles of engineering design, intended to give second-year undergraduates a basic understanding of the process of converting a product from concept through design and deployment. Students will work in multi-disciplinary teams with time and budget constraints on externally sponsored design projects. Web-based lectures will cover topics concurrent with specific phases of the projects. The course will culminate in a "Design Competition". Effective Fall 2018, this course fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area: Teamwork/Collaboration.
    • Teamwork/Collaboration
  • ENG EK 301: Engineering Mechanics I
