This course provides beginning engineering students with an overview of the fields of electrical and computer engineering, mechanical and industrial engineering, civil and environmental engineering, and chemical engineering so they can confidently decide which engineering discipline to pursue as a profession. Throughout the semester, students will develop basic skills in problem-solving, computation, design, and communication that will help them in all future engineering courses. Students will learn about electrical energy, signals, computing, engineering economics, energy conservation, energy conversion, basic mass balances applied to non-reaction chemical processes, process design, structural design, sustainability, and impacts of transportation decisions. Students will discover how engineering solves societal problems
