The course focuses on developing the basic skills in approaching engineering problems and applying basic skills in mathematics and physics.
Emphasis is placed on technical writing, graphical presentation and oral communication.
This section of the course provides an overview of the major areas of opportunity for engineers in the next 20 years. We will discuss the engineering profession from training to technical design to management. We will discuss how engineers interact with society. This section of the course will introduce you to problem solving and design concepts in each of the three principle fields of engineering. A lab demonstrating the same principle will complement each week's lecture.
