Engineering Fundamentals 2022-23
The Engineering Fundamentals Requirement
The Engineering Fundamentals requirement is satisfied by a set of technically rigorous introductory courses chosen from the various engineering disciplines, as shown in the table below. These courses serve several purposes. First, they provide a breadth of knowledge about some of the major fields within engineering. Second, they furnish students with an opportunity to explore a number of engineering topics before embarking on a specific engineering major. Third, the individual classes each offer a reasonably deep insight into a contemporary technological subject for the interested non-engineer. Engineering majors must complete a minimum of two Engineering Fundamentals courses; check your major program course requirements as some majors still require specified courses, or three courses.
