In this elective course, students learn about each engineering field's intellectual and technological foundations, job opportunities and degree requirements. Students will also explore a term-long theme: how engineers are responding to the critical global challenges facing our world today. Students have the opportunity to better understand the engineering disciplines by solving relevant problems arising in each by addressing problem formulation, methods of solution and practical applications.
