level programming language as related to engineering
technology. Topics include input/output operations,
sequence, selection, iteration, arithmetic operations,
arrays tables, and pointers.
Upper division engineering courses (3000 level and above)
used to satisfy degree requirements within the College of
Engineering are restricted to majors and minors of the
College of Engineering.
ETGR 3000. Special Topics in Engineering Technology. (1‑4)
Prerequisite: senior standing in Engineering Technology or
permission of the department. Examination of specific new
areas which are emerging in the various fields of
engineering technology. The course builds upon the knowledge
the students have gained from their engineering technology
curriculum. May be repeated for credit. (On demand)
ETGR 3071. Engineering Technology Professional Seminar. (1)

function while maintaining manufacturing efficiency. Study
of and laboratory experiences with precision dimensional
measuring instrumentation and machines. Two hours of lecture
and three hours of laboratory per week. (On demand)
ETGR 3272. Applied Numerical Methods. (3)
Prerequisites: ETGR 2122 and ETGR 3171. This course is
designed to familiarize students with numerical methods for
the solution of engineering problems using modern digital
computer methods. This course will emphasize applying these

This is the first of a two semester sequence in senior
design that utilizes industrial and university sponsored
projects to expose engineering technology students in their
final year of training to real world project execution and
management, in addition to demonstrating abilities as
developed by the coursework taken thus far. These projects
are usually interdisciplinary in nature, involving students
in groups that contain more than one engineering
discipline. Projects are defined for the students by
statements of work issued by the funding entities. In the
first semester, students are exposed to proper project
management and planning methodology, along with project
documentation. This course meets for one (1) lecture hours
and three (3) laboratory hours per week. (Fall)
