Designed to give students an overview of engineering and technology careers, various engineering disciplines, and engineering transfer schools.
Prerequisite: ENGL 100.
ENGR& 104   Introduction to Design (5 Credits)
Course explores the role of creativity, teamwork, and communication in promoting innovative engineering design. Students develop their knowledge and skills in all three areas through a series of hands-on projects and reflective activities (was ENGR 108).
Prerequisite: ENGL& 101 (was ENGL 105) and MATH 090 both with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
ENGR 110   Fundamentals of Problem Solving (2 Credits)
Introduction to modern techniques in the solution of engineering problems.
Prerequisite: Placement into MATH& 151 (was MATH 151) or instructor's permission.
ENGR& 114   Engineering Graphics (5 Credits)
Methods of depicting three-dimensional objects and communicating design information. Emphasis is on using parametric solid modeling software as a design tool and using freehand sketching to develop visualization skills (was ENGR 101).
Prerequisite: Placement into MATH 090.
ENGR 120   Computational Tools (3 Credits)
Introduction to computational tools for engineering, mathematics, and science. Students are introduced to MATLAB, software application for technical computing. Topics include functions, file input/output, graphical analysis, statistical analysis, basic script programming.
