Engineering+foundation

Foundations of engineering

Computers. Statistics. Newton's laws. Thermodynamics. Rate processes. Heat transfer. Fluid flow. Electricity. Diffusion Statics, Dynamics, Electronics Mass, charge, linear momentum, angular momentum, Energy, entropy, and money


 * Excite you about engineering
 * Build problem solving skills
 * Cultivate professionalism
 * Introduce the design process
 * Emphasize the importance of communication skills

Time management. Eating, sleeping, working. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play and no work makes Jack...? PLAN. Prioritize. Leave time for fun. Anticipate delays. NO - learn to say it.

Remember - 50% of all graduating engineers are in the bottom half of their class. To be above average take a lot of work and good study skills.

> **Above average** Even becoming an engineer can benefit from applying the engineering design process. Questions correspond to the steps in the Engineering Design Process. > The requirements are well defined. Engineering courses, assignments, schedule, projects and the grading criteria are all defined and in most cases, easily accessible. If you don't know, ask! > Q: What to do you to do to do well in your engineering courses?
 * **Ask** (What? Ask questions, understand the need, identify the problem, define)

> Q: What does it take to excel in engineering classes? > You only learn what you almost know. > Q: Can you make time to do extra work on engineering coursework? Are you going to class prepared? What will be covered in the next class? Are you ready? > Do it. Learn something at every opportunity. > What is new in this course session? What will make this information more meaningful and memorable? > Many students work in groups or with "study buddies." Other student create flashcards. Deep reading the textbook and highlighting important sections works for some. > Q: How could you be better prepared to learn this course material? What do you need to do to do better on tests and assignments?
 * **Imagine** (So what? Imagine, brainstorm, explore, discover)
 * **Plan** (Now what? Plan, design)
 * **Create** (Do it. Create, try it out)
 * **Improve** (If this then what? Improve, make it better)
