EGR-1100 - Introduction to Engineering* (3)

Co-requisite: MTH-1200

Students work in project teams to design, build, test, and document a product that incorporates a microcontroller while understanding the role of ethics in engineering. Computer-aided design software and basic microcontroller concepts are central to the design process. Each team demonstrates their product at the end of the semester and documents their entire effort in a comprehensive final report. An understanding of the role of engineers in society and the importance of practicing sound engineering ethics is also emphasized.
