freshman tojunior year of our B.S. Bioengineering curriculum.Introduction to the Engineering ProfessionEGS1006L - Introduction to the Engineering Profession is a 1 credit hour freshman level coursethat is the gateway to all subsequent FGCU engineering courses. The course is designed tointroduce the engineering approach to problem solving and the engineering design process,utilizing team-based learning. This is accomplished through an over-arching semester-longresearch project focused on discipline-specific engineering innovations. “Mini projects” are usedin this class to encourage student discovery of new technologies or innovations within their fieldof study as a means of helping them select an appropriate topic for their research project
