Open only to Engineering students in the Honors College.
14:440:292 Honors Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics (3)
Covers the same material as 14:440:222 but in a more thorough and demanding fashion.
Open only to Engineering students in the Honors College.
14:440:294 Honors Engineering Design and Development I (1)
This course is offered in the spring semester of the Engineering Honors Academy second year. The class is made to enhance professional and technical skills by practicing human-centered design and continuing the growth of leadership and presentation abilities while fostering community between the sophomores and juniors in the Honors Academy. The course will culminate in an oral presentation and poster session. The learning objectives are to continue to develop engineering, technical, and public speaking skills from Honors ID3EA I/II (14:440:101/102); to continue to build a sense of community between the different classes that compose the Honors Academy students; to assist in preparing students for industry, research, and senior design; to develop group skills while immersing students in multidisciplinary engineering; and to build creative problem-solving skills in realistic scenarios.
Prerequisite: 14:440:102. Open only to sophomore Engineering students in the Honors College.
14:440:298 Professional Skills to Succeed in Engineering (1)
This course consists of a series of seminars that provide students with exposure to some of the professional skills and competencies associated with the practice of engineering. Topics include professional ethics and conduct, contemporary issues, written and oral communication, evaluation of career options, interviewing skills, and other career-related topics. Material and activities include guest lectures, case studies, and interactive small-group discussions.
14:440:391-392 Undergraduate Research in Engineering
