Honors Introduction to Engineering

ENGN 0031 introduces students to engineering and the important role engineers play in society, but with a greater emphasis on calculus-driven instruction and computational approaches using MATLAB and Mathematica. Technical topics include case studies across multiple engineering disciplines, static equilibrium, structural analysis, introductory robot kinematics, energy methods, CAD, professional ethics, and social responsibility. Students will also participate in group design projects which apply concepts from lectures. Students who complete ENGN 0031 may substitute an approved engineering or computer science course in place of CSCI 0111 . Students are advised to concurrently enroll in MATH 0180 / 0190 , or a higher MATH course.
