What is E497F???

E 497 is made to get students stared in engineering. The idea is to mix up computer usage, teamwork, problem solving, and language into a design project within the course. This builds skills that become the foundation of a fantastic engineering career. An early understanding of these skills will assist students throughout their undergraduate experience and beyond. The course is divided into two parts, lecture and lab. The lab meets weekly for fifty minutes and the lecture meets every other week for one hour and fifty minutes. Along with the professor, each section will have a Student Engineering Leader who will help out with classroom activities and instruction. To stay ahead of the curve, the course incorporates a multimedia text in its materials. Introduction to Engineering and Problem Solving by Marcia Horton and Project Management and Teamwork by Karl Smith come in traditional text form, but we also use an interactive CD-ROM and a newspaper prepared by The New York Times that contains all the engineering related articles from the past year.
