EGR 1200 - Engineering Interdisciplinary Project
The highlight of the College of Engineering鈥檚 first-semester program is EGR 1200, the engineering interdisciplinary project. During the first half of the fall semester, this course will introduce you to engineering analysis, design and research using an active-learning, problem-based approach. During the second half of the fall semester, you will be assigned a team-based interdisciplinary engineering project on which you will be mentored by teaching and research faculty in whose fields these projects are based.
Transfer students that enter the college of engineering after freshmen year may substitute a technical course, in consultation with their advisor, for EGR 1200.
