  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 TakeIn 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

34
What Can I do to get ahead?

• While in High School
• Consider Dual Enrollment

Comments 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.

  Products Group, 2004
