Below briefly describes the courses Engineering Science students will take in their second year of studies. For complete descriptions, click here.

Fall Semester

Calculus III focuses primarily on ordinary differential equations and includes a computational component.
Vector Calculus taught in conjunction with Fluid Mechanics demonstrates how vector calculus is a mathematical language of fluid mechanics. **Includes Labs**
Digital and Computer Systems provides an understanding of digital system design principles and represents the technology component for the semester.
Particles and Waves provides an introduction to the basic ideas of classical statistical mechanics and radiation, with applications to experimental physics.
Thermodynamics explores classical thermodynamics and its applications to engineering systems.
Engineering, Society and Critical Thinking examines the interrelations of science, technology, society and the environment.

Engineering Design presents a full mechatronics design experience through the construction of functional autonomous robot.
Probability and Statistics completes the mathematical studies in the foundation curriculum.
Modern Physics completes the strong physics component in the foundation years. **Includes Labs**
Electromagnetism provides an understanding of electromagnetic phenomena.
Systems Biology introduces concepts in cell biology and physiology, and demonstrates the use of biological understanding in engineering applications. **Includes Labs**
Complementary Studies Elective bestows an opportunity to explore an area of interest outside of engineering.
