GE 1001
Introduction to the Study of Engineering
|
1 QH |
Presents an introduction to the various disciplines of engineering and
strategies for success, both in the classroom and in practice within the
profession.
|
GE 1002
Introduction to Engineering Cooperative Education
|
1 QH |
Introduces engineering freshmen students to the cooperative education
curriculum and assists them through self-assessment in relation to the
engineering profession. Uses the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and Super's Work
Values Inventory, to provide students with an introduction to how
personalities, work styles, personal values, and interests relate to work
performances and career choices. Students examine the engineering profession,
develop rsum writing, interviewing, and time-management skills, and are
introduced to professional ethics.
|
GE 1003
Reflection on Cooperative Education
|
1 QH |
Designed to develop student reflection and analysis skills necessary for
effective work-based learning, as well as to initiate preparation for the next
work experience. Prereq. GE1002.
|
GE 1004
Professional Issues in Engineering
|
1 QH |
Focuses on professional issues in engineering which include theories of
classical and contemporary ethics, moral development, and codes of ethics.
Traces the development and philosophies of engineering societies as well as the
requirements and responsibilities of professional registration. Encourages
students to develop a personal philosophy of engineering and a professional
identity within the field, while translating engineering ethics into
responsible professional behavior. Prereq. GE1003.
Addresses the needs of students and the issues they face when they reach the
`moving on' stage of the undergraduate education experience. The reflection
component includes an examination of what has been accomplished by the student
in both academics and co-op. Focuses on defining the ways in which the student
has grown and become more knowledgeable through the course of his/her
undergraduate activities and examines the student's decision-making during this
period. Students will clarify their understanding of their personal interests
and aptitudes, and the role their education has played in this process. The
preparation component focuses upon what will change in a student's life
as a result of completion of the undergraduate program, and addresses the
decisions that the student faces during this transition. The goal of the course
will be the final development of career management skills to improve the
likelihood of greater satisfaction. Prereq. GE1004 or senior standing.

GE 1101
Engineering Problem-Solving and Computation
|
4 QH |
Uses developing and structuring approaches to solve engineering problems. Draws
applications from a variety of engineering disciplines, which serve as a tool
for introducing students to engineering analysis and design. Includes the
design of problem-solving algorithms along with an introduction to a
programming language.
|
GE 1102
Engineering Problem-Solving with Application Software
|
2 QH |
Develops fundamental problem-solving skills essential to all engineering
disciplines. Introduces students to spreadsheet and math application packages
and their use in solving engineering problems. Topics include data reduction
and transformation, visualization of data and functions, problem structuring,
and matrix applications. Examples stress real-life engineering analysis and
design as tools for introducing students to the engineering profession.
Presents the engineering design process using case studies from a variety of
engineering disciplines. Topics include problem formulation and specification,
creativity, evaluation tools, patents, product liability, ergonomics, systems
design, failure analysis, hazard prevention, manufacturing, ethics in
engineering, and presentation techniques. Presents engineering graphics,
focusing on developing three-dimensional visualization skills and
computer-aided design (CAD) application. Students will develop an original
design solution to a technical problem as a term project and use CAD software
extensively.
