EGEN 100 - Engineering & Science Fundamentals

3 credits (Hrs: 2 Lec., 3 Lab)

This course is intended for students who are not yet ready for M 151 - Precalculus but pursuing an engineering curriculum. The course focuses on developing a sound foundation that students will build upon in later engineering courses. Skills such as dimensional analysis, unit conversion, problem solving skills and strategies, technical writing, and technical drawing are introduced. Also, a crucial goal of this class is to bridge the gap between math and applied, real-world science/engineering applications. Topics from physics, chemistry, engineering, and algebra are combined into a lecture and lab curriculum. Students will learn data collection through experimentation, data analysis, and data interpretation and will be introduced to Microsoft Excel.

Course generally offered fall semester.
