Introduction to Engineering

SEMESTER: 0.5 CREDITS - NCAA Eligible

Introduction to Engineering provides students with an overview of the field of engineering and the primary processes and procedures used by engineers. Students explore engineering careers and their impacts on society, and they learn how mathematics and science are used in the field of engineering. They examine different engineering disciplines, the engineering design process, and various engineering styles and methods used in the field. Students take part in hands-on learning as they work through a real-life design problem and solve it through the steps of the engineering design process. The course concludes with a student-created presentation to demonstrate their solution to the design problem. Introduction to Engineering is an excellent addition to a STEM-centered curriculum.
