Provides first-year students with opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary courses designed to help explore what is means to be an engineer and develop skills required in the engineering workplace, be it team dynamics, leadership skills, intercultural competency, or communication techniques. Students will explore topic areas offered as separate sections under the course heading. Each section uses a hands-on, interactive, discussion/team-based approach. The courses use active learning exercises in addition to reflections, readings, and project work. Course Information: May be repeated in the same or separate terms for a maximum of 4 hours.

In this small, hands-on course we will use literature, from short stories to contemporary novels, as a context for engineering design. This class will engage students in STEM through the integration of engineering and literacy. We will incorporate microelectronics and engineering design concepts in fun group projects.
