ENGR Courses
- ENGR 101 - Introduction to Engineering - 3 hours
- Prereq: none
Students will examine relevant and practical industrial and commercial engineering applications
to gain necessary engineering skills that will help them succeed as a student as well as a professional engineer.
A variety of engineering disciplines will be highlighted and discussed, as well as topics in the underlying physical,
chemical, and biological scientific principles and processes related to each topic. The class will use a specified focus
area that involves real world applications to aid in the conceptualization and learning of the course material.
