Introduction to Engineering –  ENGR 102

Engineering 102 introduces students to the fundamental principles of engineering design. This introductory course teaches students how teamwork, communication and design techniques can be applied to a variety of engineering problems. To enroll in ENGR 102 students must be in, or above, Calculus I.

This course involves exciting hands-on design projects such as:

• solar oven
  
• catapult
• reverse engineering

And it also prepares students to take charge of their long-term career plans.

Honors students have the choice of taking the Honors Engineering 102 class. This will count towards three honors credits.

Students who are not calculus ready will enroll in ENGR 197. In this class, students will be introduced to the various engineering disciplines, with particular focus on nontraditional application areas. They will learn what engineers do upon graduation, and about student professional societies, student projects, and clubs. What are the expectations and challenges in completing an engineering degree? By the end of the semester, students should have a clear picture of what engineers do and should be able to choose a degree program within the college or within the university.
