Code Course Description
ENGR 1100

Engineering and Technology in Society

This course is an introduction to the practice of engineering, surveying its history and its current state. The social, political and economic aspects of engineering decisions, as well as the influence of technology on society, will be illustrated by a number of case studies. The ethical and environmental implications of the practice of engineering will also be discussed. The concepts of sustainability, environmental stewardship and engineering law are addressed.

Applied Engineering Project: Field Prototype Development

This course enables students to acquire practical experience. Working in groups, students will take on projects where they define, design, develop, and implement a prototype electronic, or mechanical, or electro-mechanical device or system. Student groups, in consultation with a faculty adviser, will select an appropriate project. Project topics may vary from in-depth research to systems analysis and design development proposals. Students will learn more about technical documentation. Project management fundamentals will also be covered.
