Applied Science

APSC 1124 CR-1

Introduction to Engineering

Students will learn about the practice of Engineering through a series of seminars and field trips conducted by working engineers. They will cover work done in various engineering fields, focusing on particular industries and/or specific disciplines. Students will participate in seminars on several engineering metaskills and complete a group design project followed by a presentation to the class. Note: This course is part of the first year engineering transfer program.

Corequisites: APSC 1151 Note: Students must be registered in the Applied Science program
