Engineering Mathematics Course in Department of Electrical Engineering at Southern University

Abstract

Engineering Mathematics Course at Electrical Engineering Department of Southern University is a fundamental core engineering course. This core course is taught in a way that shows how the engineering problems in the real world are related to the mathematic problems and how to solve these related engineering problems by adopting different mathematical tools, which is one of the greatest strengths of SU's EE curriculum-and having emphasis on fundamentals about how they apply to real-world problems. There always are very many types of mathematical topics to be covered in this course, and some of them overlap with other classes, such as Laplace Transform, Fourier series and transforms, etc. The main concern in this paper is how to set the materials for whole EE curriculum in engineering mathematics area, which covers most of useful engineering mathematics tools, and at the same time, reduces the overlaps with other EE classes. In other words, in our proposed Engineering Mathematics Course (ENGR 340), we will emphasize some mathematical methods only offered in the E-math course, and cut or reduce the materials which will be taught at other courses to increase students learning efficiency. In this paper, proposed E-math course teaching materials will be given, and some discussion will be provided.

Study on Adsorption of Chromium in Wastewater by Diatomite

“…It has proven the reserves of 320 million tons and the prospective reserves of 2 billion tons. Diatomite, as a new type of adsorbent [4][5][6][7]13], is not very wide, especially limited in water treatment. So the removal of chromium in wastewater by the diatomite of adsorbent has good performances.…”
