MT3. 834 Principles of Technology II
Focuses on applying physical concepts and formulae to technology found in the industrial workplace. Students will develop and strengthen critical thinking and problem solving skills required to function and excel in rapidly changing and increasingly complex workplace environments. Lab experiments are intended to reinforce and enhance the scientific principles discussed in class as well as providing an opportunity to learn to work effectively in groups. The impact of technology on energy efficiency in the workplace is studied. This course contains a portion of the embedded computation requirement for Related Instruction.
