Engineering Key Community Seminar (Fall 2019)
KEY 192A
Catalog Description: The goal of the Engineering Key Community Seminar is to introduce
freshman engineering students to the engineering profession by examining the impact
of engineering research, design, analysis and development on society. Students
will also be introduced to the unifying engineering science principles
such as the
conservation of mass, momentum and energy, materials science,
mathematical algorithms and how these principles (along with
manufacturing techniques, cost,
safety requirements, environmental considerations and intellectual
property) impact the design of engineering systems.
Students will also develop technical communication, time management and critical
thinking skills.
Required Reading: Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam, Delta; Reprint edition (January 11, 2000).

The goal of this seminar is to introduce freshman engineering students to the engineering profession by examining the impact of engineering research, design, analysis and development on society. The objectives of the course are as follows:
-
Recognize the impact of technology on society (both positive and negative).
-
Discuss how scientific principles are used to support the design of an engineering product, process or solution.
-
Demonstrate the ability to solve engineering problems using a systematic problem solving approach: (known, find, given, assumptions, analysis, discussion).
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate your results (in written, graphical and oral formats).
- Develop a passion for the engineering profession and reaffirm your decision to study engineering!
