This is an introduction to the profession of engineering and the different fields of study in the College of Engineering, through a variety of modular design and analysis projects. The emphasis is on hands-on creative components, teamwork, and effective communication. Common lecture sessions during the first three weeks of the semester will address ethics and societal context for engineering projects, introduction to engineering design process, and introduction to engineering analysis. Following this introduction, students will take two six-week modules involving both lectures and laboratories in which they will learn design and analysis skills, and will apply these skills to illustrative problems drawn from various engineering majors.
