PROGRAM CLOSED

Students who choose the Engineering program have two options. They must choose either track A or B. The prerequisite for both track includes algebra.

Option 1:

Track A: Aerospace, Architectural, Civil, Environmental, Mechanical Engineering

Have you ever wondered...

1. What is behind the inner workings of a car?
2. How clean water suddenly appears in your faucet when you turn it on?
3. Will robots one day have functions like humans?
4. How an airplane stays in the sky?
5. How do skyscrapers and buildings withstand hurricanes and earthquakes?
6. What is common between Hoover Dam and Golden Gate Bridge?

Learn the answers to these questions and many more facts about the world around us. Everything has been created, affected, designed and implemented by an engineer. Faculty and staff from the renowned College of Engineering have teamed up to offer students a hands on look into the fields of mechanical, aerospace, civil, architectural and environmental engineering.

Possible Field Trips/Labs: Wind Tunnels, Miami International Airport

Option 2:

Track B: Biomedical, Computer, and Electrical Engineering

Discover life as Biomedical Engineer: Learn how to design new bio-materials; how to use lasers in medicine; how a medical device is designed, tested and approved by the FDA. Discover how Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasonography, CT scan and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) work and is used in medicine.

Hands on experience will be provided through a project where you will assemble, program and test a bioelectric-based monitoring device.

You will:

• Record your heart electrical activity
• Measure the attenuation of lasers when they pass through tissues
• Record your spontaneous brain activity
• Analyse the amazing mechanical properties of biological tissues
• Track the electrical signals traveling inside your brain when you hear a sound or see a computer screen
• Use your muscles to control a video-game

Immerse yourself in the world of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Electrical and Computer Engineers (ECE) have made remarkable contributions to our world. They helped invent the television, the radar, the computer, the microchip, cellular phones, computer networks, solar panels, robots, electric and hybrid cars, DVD players and the iPod, to mention a few. They provide key expertise for major industries such as  energy and electrical power, telecommunications, health, manufacturing, information and entertainment. This course will allow you to:

• Experience the University learning environment for ECE
• Test drive the scholarly activities of an ECE student
• Explore three important thematic units of ECE: Electronics, Digital Design and Audio Signal Processing
• Get hands-on experience by programming, building and testing electrical and computer components

By the end of this course you will have learned how to design and build:

1. A stereo power amplifier
2. Logic design circuits
3. Software for processing audio signals
