Engineering 110

THE ENGINEERING PROFESSION


Lead Instructors:

Peter Green - Materials  Science and Engineering

Frank Marsik - Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences

Course Description:

In this elective course, students learn about each engineering field's intellectual and technological foundations, job opportunities and degree requirements.  Students will also explore a term-long theme:  how engineers are responding to the critical global challenges facing our world today.  Students have the opportunity to better understand the engineering disciplines by solving relevant problems arising in each by addressing problem formulation, methods of solution and practical applications.

Inspired by the National Academy of Engineers - Grand Challenges

NOTE: Engineering 110 is only offered during the Fall term.
