Honors Introduction to Engineering I (3)
This course introduces students to the profession of engineering in all of its creative, professional, social, and at times controversial aspects. Students will learn about engineering as a curriculum of study, the different fields, careers, and job functions. They will learn the aspects of engineers as creators and designers as they create solutions, keeping in mind both ethics and professionalism. Students will also learn some of the key tools needed for engineers as they develop their paths toward professional/personal growth and success. The course culminates in final projects where students create, document, and present a human-based design.
Open only to first-year students in the Engineering Honors Academy.

Honors Engineering Design and Development I (1)
This course is offered in the spring semester of the Engineering Honors
Academy second year. The class is made to enhance professional and
technical skills by practicing human-centered design and continuing
the growth of leadership and presentation abilities
while fostering community between the sophomores and juniors in the
Honors Academy. The course will culminate in an oral presentation and
poster session. The learning objectives are to continue to develop
engineering, technical, and public speaking skills from
Honors Introduction to Engineering (14:440:191); to continue to build a
sense of community between the different classes that compose the Honors
Academy students; to assist in preparing students for industry,
research, and senior design; to develop group skills
while immersing students in multidisciplinary engineering; and to build
creative problem-solving skills in realistic scenarios.
Prerequisite: 14:440:191. Open only to sophomore students in the Engineering Honors Academy.
