EG 103 - Engineering and Society: Engineering, Design, and Creative Problem Solving in the Built World

(3.00 cr.)

The pyramids and Gothic cathedrals as well as transportation, communication, and sanitation systems are just some examples of our engineered world.

Emphasis is given to the historical and social contents of engineering design and its impact on our society. Students also explore the connections engineering has to visual thinking-graphic and industrial design. Open to majors and nonmajors. Engineering majors may substitute EG 495  or another course with the approval of the department chair. Fulfills the second natural science core requirement. (Fall only)
