Course Description: The course is a survey of concepts, theories, research and ideas which comprise the core of Sociology. Topics covered will examine the sociological perspective, sociological research, cultural debates, the process of socialization, deviance and crime, stratification-various types of oppression, inequalities, prejudice and
Introduction to engineering: major engineering disciplines including latest technologies like nanotechnology, biotechnology; Introduction to computers and flowcharts; SI and USCS units, conversion of units and equations; Pressure, temperature and energy; Problem solving techniques; Engineering communication and report writing; Statistics, summary diagrams, normal distribution; Engineering economy; Engineering design and Introduction to MATLAB features: variables, arrays, functions, input/output statements, control structures, looping, user defined functions and plotting.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course, students will be able to:1. Determine a right engineering major and plan their
course selection for the subsequent semesters.2. Describe the latest development in the field of
engineering. 3. Solve problems logically and methodically.4. Write MATLAB code to solve engineering problems.

Class Policies: Attendance & Class Participation: Regular attendance and punctuality are required of all students. Students should be aware that there absence from lectures may jeopardize the successful completion of the course. Absences need to be supported by medical certificates or letter from parents/guardians.Allocation of 10% marks for attendance and participation are specially to emphasize the importance of participation in class which requires you to pre-read the topic, ask questions, answer or comment on other students’ questions or remarks, elaborate, support or critique your classmate’s comment.
Academic integrity: The program is committed to academic integrity which refers to plagiarism and cheating during exams among other things. Plagiarism is copying others’ language, ideas and information, etc, without acknowledging the source. Student’s work may be checked for plagiarism by text comparison software. All sociology assignments are to be referenced using APA referencing system.
