ENGN 101 - How It Works, How It’s Made

FDR: SC
Credits: 3
Planned Offering: Offered when interest is expressed and departmental resources permit.

An introduction to the engineering and science behind devices that students use or are exposed to everyday. Contemporary equipment and technology, along with their applications, are presented first, gaining familiarity with a subject before studying the underlying scientific aspects. By investigating “how it works,” students become aware of fundamental physical principles. Examining “how it’s made,” students are exposed to the engineering design criteria which govern all manufactured objects. Kuehner.
