In this lesson, we are going to look at the real world meanings that slope and y-intercept can have. We have seen that the slope of a line measures how much the value of y changes for every so much that the value of x changes. For instance, in the line y = (3/5)x 2, the slope is m = 3/5.

At ECU, our highest priority is the excellence of our engineering program and we achieve this through small engineering classes taught by faculty (not graduate students), project based learning, and high faculty-student interaction. ECU Engineering prepares our graduates for 21st century engineering challenges. We believe successful engineers must have a broad base of technical skills to assure they can meet the engineering challenges of the future. ECU offers a Bachelor of Science in Engineering with six possible areas of concentration: 1  Biomedical Engineering. 2  Bioprocess Engineering. 3  Electrical Engineering.  Environmental 1  Engineering. Industrial and Systems Engineering.  Mechanical Engineering.
