Description of Engineering Courses
- Engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, and systems. It is a broad field that includes many different disciplines.
Common Things Learned
- In Engineering courses, students learn the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, and materials science, as well as how to apply these concepts to solve real-world problems. They also learn about computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing processes, and project management. Communication skills are also emphasized, as engineers must be able to communicate effectively with team members, clients, and stakeholders. Students will gain practical experience through laboratory work and design projects.
Typical Student
- Typical Engineering students are curious, analytical, and enjoy problem-solving. They may have a strong background in math and science, as these subjects are fundamental to Engineering. Students in Engineering programs come from a variety of backgrounds, but all share a common interest in designing and building innovative solutions.
