ENGR 110 Introduction to Engineering
1 s.h.
This course is designed to give students some understanding of the
role of engineering in today's society, and of engineering as a
professional career. Some specific topics
will be: the development of engineering and its historic
contributions to society; modern engineering topics; skills needed
by engineers; similarities and differences between science and
engineering. Skills such as spacial
relations and sketching will be developed. Basic computer
skills (word processing and other communications uses) and
mathematical skills will be reviewed. Technical writing will be
introduced. In addition, there will be frequent discussion of the
challenges facing first-year
students in the 3-2 engineering program. Recommended for all physics
majors and first-year students
interested in the 3-2 engineering program.
