Credits 4Fall

Registration Requirement: RD090 and WR090, or IECC201R and IECC201W; and MTH020; each with a grade of "C" or better; or placement above stated course levels.

Engineering problem solving is a framework for bringing problems of the "real world" into the classroom. Students solve these problems by proceeding through a problem-solving cycle, step by carefully documented step. In addition to this process students learn to use tools such as EXCEL, WORD, and other engineering software's to solve typical problems. Students in the course will be exposed to concepts of persistence, responsibility, and college success through the GRIT model.
