Weekday Classes Begin January 13
Week 1: Jan 13-17 Introduction, The engineering method & heuristics, History of Engineering, Chapter 1
HW #1 Engineering Product – Writes a report, and give a short 5 minute presentation on an interesting product that was created by an engineer. The product chosen should be sufficiently complex that it requires advanced engineering skills to build it (in other words, don’t choose something as simple as “a table” to do your report on), but specific enough that a general understanding is possible in a short report (ie, instead of choosing something like an entire airplane, choose only one part of the airplane, like a jet engine, to do your report on.) Use your own words, and reference the internet sites (or books) that you get your information from.

MLK Holiday (colleges closed) January 20
Week 2: Jan 21 – 24Writing as an engineer, How to give a good presentation., Overview of the different engineering disciplines, HW #1 Due, Engineering Product presentations
HW#2: Engineering discipline paper – Write a report, and give a short informal presentation on the engineering discipline that appeals to you the most. If you plan on perusing a degree in this field, create an academic plan outlining what classes you need to take, and what university you would like to transfer to. If you do not plan on perusing an engineering degree, discuss what engineers you might end up working around, and what background you need to have in order to effectively communicate with them. Identify 3 companies who hire engineers from your chosen discipline, and discuss the types of jobs they offer.
