Engineering 100 - TOPC FOR EVERYONE-ENVIRONMENT

EGR 100 serves as an accessible course for all students, regardless of background or intent to major in engineering. Engineering majors are required to take this course for the major. Those students considering majoring in engineering are strongly encouraged to take EGR 100 during their first year. Students develop a sound understanding of the engineering design process, including problem definition, background research, identification of design criteria, development of metrics and methods for evaluating alternative designs, prototype development, and proof of concept testing. Working in teams, students present their ideas through oral and written reports. Reading assignments and in-class discussions challenge students to critically analyze contemporary issues related to the interaction of technology and society. Organized around different themes, multiple sections. Enrollment limit of 20. : We search, query, examine, discuss, debate (agree and disagree) - and through the process, learn about the pressing issues related engineering and our environment. We grapple with the urgent, pressing and complex challenges and potential engineering solutions for the sustainable stewardship of our environment.
