VG100/ENGR1000J: Introduction to Engineering 工程导论
DESCRIPTION:
ENGR1000J is a collaborative combination of two components: a technical component (Tech) that teaches how to design and construct an engineering project in multiple stages; and a technical communication component (TC) that teaches how to effectively propose, describe, and explain that project to an external audience. In detail, some of the skills this course aims to introduce include: (1) the application of mathematics and science to an engineering project (Tech) (2) conceptualization of need, feasibility assessment, decision to proceed, project organization, plan of work, ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (Technical / Communication) (3) the ability to identify and solve problems, through systems and process design (Technical / Communication) (4) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (Tech) (5) an understanding of engineering in relation to numerous social contexts (Technical / Communication)
