| EG 111 | Introduction to Engineering Systems | (3-0-3) |
| This course is the first of a two-course sequence that introduces students to realm of computing and teaches them how to use computers effectively in problem solving. Student will learn how to formulate data and procedural abstractions, and apply basic problem solving strategies and techniques to problems from different domains. Students are automatically enrolled in the accompanying lab section, in which students will get practical hands-on experience with the material covered in the lecture. | ||
