Differential Equations' Coverage in Circuits and Heat Transfer Courses in an Engineering Technology Curricula

Differential Equations are at the core of any undergraduate engineering as well as of science programs.While a course in differential equations is required by any engineering degree, it is not a requirement for engineering technology programs, which usually require mathematics up to calculus I.This paper discusses the undergraduate engineering technology curricula, focusing on how differential equations are taught to engineering technology students and how they are covered in the programs.In particular, the paper will discuss the treatment of differential equations in electrical circuits and heat transfer courses.
