ENGR 110 - Engineering For Us All

3 Credits
1 lecture hours. 2 lab hours.

The course empowers and engages students to use what they know and find what they are passionate about to take control and boldly influence the world. Empowerment is built through an awareness of engineering in everyday life, the diversity of engineers, and by interrogating and emphasizing how engineering is embedded in society. Engagement occurs as students practice engineering design at multiple scales, considering local and global engineering design challenges. Students are provided opportunities to design and create solutions in authentic, student-centered product development challenges. Students may fully participate regardless of their technical background or preparation. This course provides the student the opportunity for reading, reflective critical thinking, research and writing experiences and for the application of the engineering design process to problems and issues in contemporary society. There will be strong emphasis on the processes of communicating ideas and designs, utilization of deductive and inductive inference, and argument mapping to solve engineering problems.
