Introduction to Engineering is for students who are interested in both design and engineering. The major focus of the IED course is to expose students to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards, and technical documentation. Introduction to Engineering gives students the opportunity to develop a variety of skills and understanding of course concepts through activity-based projects and problem-based learning. Used in combination with a teaming approach, learning challenges students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities, and understanding of the design process, it also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning.
