Things to learn

Mathematics Fundamentals1. Probability and StatisticsBasic probability theory, random variables and probability distributions, estimation theory, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and analysis of variance.2. Calculus and Analytical Geometry Theory and application of differential and integral calculus methods and operations. Study of techniques for describing, representing, and analyzing geometric objects (coordinate systems, algebraic models, graphing).Science and Engineering Fundamentals 1. Natural Science Foundations Basic concepts and principles of one of the natural science disciplines (e.g., physics, biology, chemistry, etc.). This will provide students with a technical background in at least one scientific domain area. This preparation should include laboratory work that involves experimental techniques, the application of the scientific method, and comprehension of appropriate methods for data quality assurance and analysis. 2. Engineering Fundamentals The nature of engineering, branches of engineering, the design process, analysis and modeling, the role of empirical and statistical techniques, problem solving strategies, and the value of standards. Students should have some level of practical experience, whether through capstones, internships, or course projects. Practical experience should include the application of engineering fundamentals in a specific domain context. 3. Computing Fundamentals Overview of computer organization (computer architecture, operating systems, and programming languages), algorithms, and data structures; software engineering fundamentals (life cycle models, quality, cost, and schedule issues); and development of a software unit (design, coding, and testing).General Education 1. Oral and Written Communication Study and application of communication techniques that support development and enhancement of oral and written communication skills. 2. Ethics and Professional Conduct Principles related to the behavior and decision-making of professionals; obligations of professionals to clients and to society; codes of ethics; and social, legal, and historical issues.
