ENGR 110 Introduction to Engineering I: Modeling and Analysis5 credits
A project-based introduction to engineering analysis, problem solving, and mathematical modeling. Working in teams, students will complete a series of hands-on projects designed to emphasize a systematic, analytical problem solving approach and explore the engineering disciplines at a technical level. Topics include: introductory engineering concepts; engineering for sustainability; teamwork skills; the application of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in engineering; unit systems; and an introduction to spreadsheet applications.
Prerequisites: MATH& 142 (or placement into MATH& 151 or higher)
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Use estimation to make order of magnitude calculations in the absence of data
- Properly apply the rules for handling significant figures in arithmetic
- Perform dimensional and unit analysis
- Manipulate formulas to perform sensitivity analysis of systems in one or more variables
- Prepare and interpret graphs following accepted standards in engineering and science
- Perform introductory spreadsheet calculations such as cell-reference equations, descriptive statistics, and graphing
- Demonstrate application of engineering problem solving processes
- Describe elements of the engineering design process
- Participate in developing functional project teams
- Communicate technical information in a clear, concise, and accurate fashion through both written and oral presentation
- Produce effective visual aids for oral presentations
