IDS 1380 - Introduction to STEM

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: None
Course Description: This foundational course provides practical mathematical application to problems in engineering, computer science, and related STEM disciplines. All STEM applications will be presented within the context math topics and reinforced through extensive examples of their use in the core STEM courses. This course is designed to put the application first and then apply the mathematics to model or simulate it with hand calculations and/or computer software. Student will focus on their ‘habits of mind’ to consciously practice problem solving techniques, exercise best practice formats, and implement software that will provide the foundation for future success in a STEM curriculum.
