Requisites: None.
Offered: Fall.
ENGR 1312 (3-2-3) Introduction to Engineering Practice II
This course is a continuation of ENGR 1311. The students will continue to work in teams on open-ended projects exercising the engineering design process, communications, reporting, decision making, goal setting, project planning, timelines, and project completion according to specifications. The students will present one of their design projects, orally, visually, and through the written word. The students will learn the basics of the Arduino language and will continue to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. Lab fee.
