1.00 Credits
Introduces students to engineering majors, engineering functions, aptitudes and skills students need, engineering ethics, the Inver Hills A.S Engineering Fundamentals program, and programs at transfer institutions. Provides an interactive environment for students to identify their motivation and opportunities for personal growth, engage in academic and career decision-making, and explore and utilize campus resources and services. Recommended for any student considering engineering or wanting to explore engineering as a career choice.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces students to the fundamentals of engineering in a hands-on setting. Topics include: skills necessary for practicing engineers, elements of electric circuits, micro-controller programming, computer programming for problem solving, and fundamentals of engineering graphics. Students will complete a substantial project using the engineering design process, write a brief design report, and give a final project presentation. Prerequisites: A grade of C or higher in MATH 0940 or placement into MATH 1118 or placement into MATH 1127 or higher. ENGR 1000 and ENG 1108 strongly recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to energy from renewables such as solar and wind to combat the potentially catastrophic climate crisis resulting from our use of fossil fuels. Other solutions such as electrifying our transportation; ways to increase energy efficiency and energy conservation; need for energy storage to increase the penetration of renewables; and role of technology. Examine solutions using ethical frameworks for decision-making to determine societal benefits as well as civic and ethical responsibilities.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces students to the fundamentals of renewable energy and other climate crisis solutions in a lab setting. Students will conduct experiments, use test equipment, and write lab reports. This course must be taken with the lecture course (ENGR1701) to fulfill the lab requirement.
