4 Term 1 Information Term I Term 1 courses are preloaded for incoming freshmen by the Office of Undergraduate Academics 16 credits is the limit for students in their first term at Stevens If you have AP or transfer credit for a Term 1 course, you have the option of either adding a replacement course (typically from Term 2 and based on its prerequisites), or having a lighter load during Term 1 See the Office of Undergraduate Academics with questions about AP and transfer credit Stevens Institute of Technology

5 Term I Co requisite: Covers atomic structure and periodic properties, stoichiometry, properties of gases, thermochemistry, chemical bond types, intermolecular forces, liquids and solids, chemical kinetics and introduction to organic chemistry and biochemistry. Science core Stevens Institute of Technology

6 Term I Lab Co requisite: Laboratory work to accompany : includes experiments of atomic spectra, stoichiometric analysis, qualitative analysis, and organic and inorganic syntheses, and kinetics. Science core Stevens Institute of Technology

7 MA 121 and MA 122 Term I MA 121 Calculus 1A: Differential Calculus Prerequisite: MA 120 or initial placement based on high school calculus taken Covers limits, the derivatives of functions of one variable, differentiation rules, applications of the derivative. MA 122 Calculus 1B: Integral Calculus Prerequisite: MA 121 Covers definite integrals of functions of one variable, antiderivatives, the Fundamental Theorem, integration techniques, improper integrals, applications. Note: Each course is ½ semester long. Science core Stevens Institute of Technology

8 Term I Co requisites:, Introduces students to the process of design and seeks to engage their enthusiasm for engineering from the very beginning of the program. The engineering method is used in the design and manufacture of a product. Product dissection is exploited to evaluate how others have solved design problems. Development is started of competencies in professional practice topics, primarily: effective group participation, project management, cost estimation, communication skills and ethics. is linked to and taught concurrently with the course. graphics are used in the design projects and the theme of "fit to form" is developed.

9 Term I Introduction to Introduces the use of an advanced programming language for use in engineering applications, using C++ as the basic programming language and Microsoft Visual C++ as the program development environment. Topics covered include basic syntax (data types and structures, input/output instructions, arithmetic instructions, loop constructs, functions, subroutines, etc.) needed to solve basic engineeringproblemsaswellasanintroductiontoadvancedtopics (use of files, principles of objects and classes, libraries, etc.). Algorithmic thinking for development of computational programs and control programs from mathematical and other representations of the problems will be developed. Basic concepts of computer architectures impacting the understanding of a high level programming language will be covered. Basic concepts of a microcontroller architecture impacting the use of a high level programming language for development of microcontroller software will be covered, drawing specifically on the microcontroller used in E121. core Stevens Institute of Technology

10 Term I Introduces principles of orthographic and auxiliary projections, pictorial presentation of engineering designs, dimensioning and tolerance, sectional and detail views, assembly drawings. Descriptive geometry. figures and graphs. Solid modeling introduction to computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) using numerically controlled (NC) machines. core Stevens Institute of Technology

11 Term I This is the first half of a one credit, two semester course that consists of a set of engineering experiences such as lectures, small group sessions, on line modules and visits. Students are required to complete a specified number of experiences each semester and are given credit at the end of the second half of the course which is E102. The goal is to introduce students to the engineering profession, engineering disciplines, college success strategies, Stevens research and other engaging activities and to Technogenesis. Course is pass/fail. core Stevens Institute of Technology

12 Term I CAL 103 or CAL 105 Freshmen will take either CAL 103 or CAL 105 during Term 1 and the other course during Term 2. CAL 103 Writing and Communications Colloquium Covers the written and oral communications skills essential for both university level academic discourse as well as success in the professional world, including technical writing, business proposals and reports, scientific reports, expository writing, promotional documents and advertising, PowerPoint presentations, and team presentations. OR CAL 105 Colloquium: Knowledge, Nature, and Culture Introduces students to all the humanistic disciplines offered by the College of Arts and Letters: history, literature, philosophy, the social sciences, art, and music. By studying seminal works and engaging in discussions and debates regarding the themes and ideas presented in them, students learn how to examine evidence in formulating ideas, how to subject opinions, both their own, as well those of others, to rational evaluation, and in the end, how to appreciate and respect a wide diversity of opinions and points of view. humanities Stevens Institute of Technology

13 PE A total of 4 semesters of non repeating PE courses are required for graduation Stevens Institute of Technology
