ENGR 112 Introduction to Engineering
This course will introduce students to engineering by using practical problems and products from their surroundings. The course will challenge students to analyze the design and function of systems by using principles from different engineering fields including computer, electrical and electronic, and mechanical engineering. Students will study the contribution of material engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering and computer engineering in making everyday objects, and the manufacturing processes needed for small and large-scale production. Students will also critically evaluate selected products from diverse perspectives: design/usability/utility, energy/environmental view, recyclability/waste/breakage, etc., to begin the conversation of the engineering profession’s responsibility and contribution to society.
Design for engineering, case studies, engineering drawing and presentations, manufacturing process and methods, computer integrated manufacturing, safety in engineering, environmental impact and sustainability, topics in the profession of engineering.
CAD drawing using AutoCAD, assembling and disassembling products, practical skills in operating lab and field equipment, safety drills, basic design and implementation projects.
Required of CE, EE, and ME students
