ENGR 1110 - Introduction to Engineering
4 Credits
Introduces students to the fundamentals of engineering in a hands-on setting. Topics include: skills necessary for practicing engineers, elements of electric circuits, micro-controller programming, computer programming for problem solving, and fundamentals of engineering graphics. Students will complete a substantial project using the engineering design process, write a brief design report, and give a final project presentation.
Pre-Requisites Grade of C or higher in MATH 0940 or
placement into MATH 1118 or MATH 1127 or higher.
ENGR 1000 and ENG 1108 strongly recommended. May take concurrently with ENGR 1000 .
