Computer Literacy?Computer Literacy?

No, incoming students cover the spectrum

The Freshmen year introduces computers and a number of computing tools

Students learn new computer applications very quickly

It is helpful if you know a word processor, spreadsheet, & programming language

31

Should I Bring My Own Computer?Should I Bring My Own Computer?

Not a bad idea, most students now bring a laptop for use in the dorm.

Most engineering software is not licensed to run on student-provided computers so type (PC v.s. Apple) not an issue.

We provide up-to-date equipment in labs.

Useful for e-mail, Internet, report writing.

Wireless internet available campus wide.

32

What calculator do I need?What calculator do I need?

A basic scientific calculator is fine

Exponentials & logarithms

Trig functions & their inverses, with degree and radian modes

Rectangular to polar conversion

Binary/octal/hexadecimal modes nice if EE, CpE, or CS major

Hyperbolic functions & their inverses

Graphing and symbolic manipulations not necessary

33

What Courses Should I TakeWhat Courses Should I TakeIn High School?In High School?

Math, algebra, more math, geometry

Trig, more math, Pre Calculus

CU Offers Pre Calculus online in summer

Physics & Chemistry

Two or more years of the same foreign language

English composition (AP not accepted by CU)

AP calculus & physics are helpful but not required

Comments from YSIComments from YSI

“The design project is a win-win situation, where the EE students take on a real-life product development project, and YSI benefits from the infusion of new ideas presented by the students. As an engineer, I find it very rewarding to see the student teams progress with their projects throughout their senior year, and am always impressed with the end product. Cedarville EE students, and their instructors, are of a very high caliber.”
