ENGR 122
The
objective of Engineering 122 is to further acquaint you with the basic concepts
that form the foundations of engineering. Specifically,
at the end of this course you should be able to analyze simple static structures
and calculate the size of a cable necessary to safely hold a structure in place.
You should also be able solve basic engineering economics problems and
evaluate alternate solutions based on cost.
A major component of this course is the completion of a design project,
considering a variety of alternate solutions, and presentation of the results.
This course will help you integrate skills developed in math and physics
and further clarify the importance of these skills for solving engineering
problems. You will continue to develop your skills in problem solving, working
in teams, using the computer for problem solving, and communication. The course
will employ a variety of learning strategies including cooperative learning
(teamwork), critical thinking, creative problem solving, and oral/written
communication.
