Resistance. Direct Current Circuits. Magnetic Fields. Sources of Magnetic Field. Faraday's

Law.

MATH 101: Calculus I (3 Cr. Hrs.)

This course introduces the student to the calculus of single-valued functions. Topics include:

limits, continuity, rates of change, rules for differentiating, differentials and local linear

approximations, maxima and minima problems, L’Hôpital’s rule, related rates, logarithmic and

implicit differentiation, inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, Rolle’s theorem, the

mean-value theorem, and applications of derivatives and integrals.

MATH 102: Calculus II (3 Cr. Hrs.)

This is a course in multivariate calculus as a continuation of Calculus I. The course focuses on

power series, polar coordinates and polar functions, sequences and infinite series, vectors,

functions of several variables and their limits, partial differentiation and their applications. The

course views multiple integrals: double and triple, line integrals, surface integrals, Green’s

theorem, Gauss's divergence theorem, and Stoke’s theorem.

MATH 201: Applied Mathematics for Engineers I (3 Cr. Hrs.)

This course begins with an overview of vector analysis, linear algebra concentrating on using

matrices to solve systems of equations, and the diagonalization of matrices, and complex

numbers. It then moves into a study of differential equations, shedding light on the solutions of

differential equations (first order, second and higher orders) with applications. The course will

discuss Laplace transforms and Fourier Series and Fourier Transforms with applications in

solving initial value problems.

MATH 231: Probability and Statistics for Engineers (3 Cr. Hrs.)

This course familiarizes students with descriptive statistics, probability basics, random variables,

special discrete random variables, and various distributions: normal, Student's t, Chi-square, and

Fisher's F. It includes a discussion of inference about one mean, one proportion, difference

between two means and difference between two proportions and the ratio of two variances, large

and small samples, paired and independent samples. The MINITAB statistical software package

will be used; there will also be an introduction to the use of SPSS.

IC 101: Intercultural Communication (3 Cr. Hrs.)

This course is designed to provide prospective students (whose majors have an international

flavor) with tools that offer powerful possibilities for improving the communication process. We

will examine the process of sending and receiving messages between people whose cultural

background could lead them to interpret verbal and nonverbal signs differently. We will learn

about the diversity of these cultural differences and at the same time learn how we might

overcome them. Our efforts to recognize and surmount cultural differences will hopefully open

up business opportunities throughout the world and maximize the contribution of all the

employees in a diverse workforce.

SFTS 101: SOFT SKILLS (3 Cr. Hrs.)

This course is designed to help develop strong oral and written communication skills. The student

will be given opportunities to practice writing and editing professional correspondence and

technical reports. Additionally, the student will compose and deliver oral presentations.

Assignments will include the use of inductive and deductive approaches to conveying a variety of

messages. The course emphasis the use of software tools to prepare presentations, stress

management, confidence, and sensitivity to others. It also stresses on resume writing and

conducting interviews.

NE 101: National Education (3 Cr. Hrs.)

In a context of striving towards democracy like the one Jordan enjoys today, the meaning and

practice of active and responsible citizenship becomes more crucial. It is often argued that

democracy requires “democrats” to flourish, and become well established. Democrats are those

women and men who recognize pluralism, inclusion, positive engagement, and participation as

the main values that govern their interaction with the state as citizens and with each other as

diverse people of different interests. In this course you will be able to understand your rights and

responsibilities as Jordanian citizen, expand your knowledge about the frameworks, and

processes that regulates citizen-state relationships as will as the basic necessary skills for you to

practice your citizenship rights in a civic manner.
