Summary
 ENGN0030 is intended to give a broad introduction to the engineering discipline to those with little or no previous exposure to the subject, as well as to provide a foundation for further study in engineering.  Topics to be discussed include: (i) an introduction to the engineering profession; (ii) estimation and quantitative problem solving; (ii) optimization; (iii) engineering design; (iv) vectors (self-study); and (v) statics. The course will conclude with a major design project.
The co-requisite for the course is Math 10 (or higher). 
 

Students who have taken statics in high-school or college level physics or engineering courses may elect to take an optional, advanced section in place of the Statics section of the course.  This section will have its own lectures, homework assignments and examinations.  Those who elect to take this section must pass a placement test.

A detailed list of specific course goals (for ABET accreditation purposes) is available here

ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE SEEING THE NAVIGATION BUTTONS?
Downloading the latest version of Java (version 6 update 2) should fix the issue if you are using IE7. This update is very recent, and so probably super-cedes the one you might have running now. Go to http://www.java.com and click the “Free Java Download” button. Then click "start installation". During the installation, we recommend that you not install the Google Tool for IE7 (uncheck during installation). After the installation you can click the verification button to verify your installation of Java.
