Fundamentals of Engineering Overview

The First-Year Engineering Program consists of two different course sequences designed to give students a broad understanding of the principles and practices of engineering – the standard two-quarter sequence (Engineering 181 and 183) and the Honors counterpart (Engineering H191, H192, and H193). The two-quarter sequence teaches basic engineering skills to prepare students for advanced courses, internships and careers in engineering. The Honors sequence accomplishes the same objectives but in a more accelerated fashion with a programming course built in to the sequence. Both program options entail a major design-build project. The continuously updated curriculum, taught by faculty & professional engineers, exposes students to different engineering disciplines and helps develop the most up-to-date and practically relevant skills.
