General Engineering Courses
DEN 160 — Engineering Orientation
Engineering Orientation is a one-credit-hour, seminar-style course aimed at providing first-year students with an overview of all degree programs within the college. DEN 160 also serves as an orientation course by helping students consider study skills, time management, and important campus resources and opportunities. It is offered in both fall and spring semesters and all students in general engineering participate.
DEN 161 — Engineering Problem Solving
Engineering Problem Solving is a one-credit-hour, lab-style course intended to complement DEN 160 for all first-year general engineering students enrolled in MATH 220 or higher. Here students gain hands-on experience with engineering problem solving. In addition to small projects from various engineering disciplines, time is also spent working on problem-solving skills and practices that cross-cut all engineering disciplines. Students gain experience working in an engineering design team. This course is offered in both fall and spring semesters.
