TOPICS IN INTERDISCIPLINARY ENGINEERING

INTEREGR 130

Introduction to mechanics and applications in engineering, including introduction to free body diagrams, spatial awareness, and how to use vectors in engineering applications.

INTEREGR 170

Introduction to design via the invention, fabrication and testing of a device that solves a problem proposed by a real world client. Information retrieval techniques, specification writing, methods for enhancing creativity, analysis techniques, scheduling, selection methodologies, cost estimating, sustainability in design, shop safety, engineering ethics, opportunities for engineering students (ie, study abroad, internships, co-ops), major exploration, fabrication equipment and techniques, and oral and written communication.

INTEREGR 413
