Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
I would recommend this course to anyone thinking about civil engineering. Doctor Donald is a great teacher and explains all of the course requirements in full detail. He sets the deadlines early and gives students time to work on all of their assignments before the due date. You have the opportunity to work in a group and become comfortable with presenting, which is huge in any engineering field. Your design skills are strengthened and you will have a baseline understanding of things to expect in your next engineering classes.
Course highlights:
We were introduced to Microstation and learned how to operate and design on the software. We got to attend professional meetings learn about projects and events outside of campus. My favorite highlight was the group project and presentation. We built a marshmallow catapult and presented our design, data, and construction process. I learned that presenting is something I have to become comfortable with if I want to be a great engineer.
Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
Some advice I would give students would be to make sure you complete all of the assignments ahead of time. I say ahead of time because the longer you wait, the more assignments that will pile up on you. Put a lot of effort into the assignments and make sure you understand what you are doing. Be active in your group when the group project comes and make sure you practice your presentation.
Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
Definitely necessary for any engineer no matter what the specialization is because its an intro to engineering course.
Course highlights:
Introduction to engineering design, engineering teams, graphical presentation, technical writing, oral presentation.
Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
Definitely beware of the pop quizzes stay up to date on all readings or you might not do so well.
Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
This course really gives you a preview at the next four or five years as an engineering student. Many people use this course to decide if Engineering is really for them.
Course highlights:
every ENGR1110 class is based around an Engineering Project that you work on throughout the year in a group. Though there are many independent assignments given throughout the semester, over half of your grade in the class depends on that project. It really taught me the importance of Time management and Teamwork skills.
Hours per week:
6-8 hours
Advice for students:
Don't procrastinate on your project, and even if you don't like other members of your team, find common grounds and be able to work with each other. You are stuck with the people you get, and being on good terms with your team really makes the semester easier for you.
