GE 101 Introduction to Engineering
This course is required for all freshman engineering students. Its purpose is to improve student success, to make the college experience more relevant to career goals, and to help students obtain as much assistance from the University as possible while working toward their engineering degrees. The course will cover community building, academic goals, effective learning methods, University orientation, and personal and professional development.

EGR 143 Engineering Graphics
Graphical communication for engineers by means of sketching and Computer-Assisted-Drafting. Fundamentals of orthographic projection and descriptive geometry. Isometric projection. Three-dimensional geometric computer modeling using wire-frame and solid models. Emphasis is on developing the skills needed for engineering design.

EGR 153 Engineering Graphics for CE
Graphical communication by means of sketching and computer-aided drafting. Fundamentals of orthographic projection and descriptive geometry. This course stresses applications of graphic communications, both manually and through the use of CAD systems.

CHE 111 Introduction to Chemical Engineering
An introduction to the field of chemical engineering. The design process and team concepts are introduced. Issues such as ethics, safety, and professionalism are discussed. The tools of chemical engineers, such as spreadsheets and simulators are discussed.

MAE 103 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering
An introduction to the fundamental principles and tools of mechanical engineering. Lectures will emphasize the interrelationships between mathematics, natural science, and engineering design. Project work will stress the importance of communication skills and teamwork.

ECE 112 Prototyping and Projects
An introduction to electrical and computer engineering by means of lectures and labs that teach students to prototype circuits in simulation and/or prototyping boards, and to program a simple PLC of microcontroller. Projects should result in working prototypes for both a simple soldered circuit and a sensor-computer-actuator system.

CE 204 Basic Surveying
An introductory course in the theory and practice of basic land surveying. Course topics include measurements of angles, directions, and distances; traverse computations; simple vertical and horizontal curves; earthwork and GPS. Fieldwork will include the use of automatic and laser levels, total station instruments, and data collectors.
