In concert with the University mission, ABET criteria require engineering programs toproduce “graduates who pursue life-long learning through continuing education and/or advanceddegrees in engineering or related fields. Additionally, ABET criteria requires that graduates beable “to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraintssuch as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability,and sustainability.” (ABET 2014)1 With

This course is acontinuation of the first-year computing course, Engineering 233 “Computing for Engineers”,where students are introduced to computer systems and programming in a high-level language(Java11). The goal of this second-year course is to provide students with experience in applyinghigh-level software (in this case, MATLAB12) to the solution of mechanical engineering designproblems.Since its introduction

All of the ENGR1110 sections place significant emphasis on providing students a positive engineering designexperience and cultivating an awareness of the engineering profession. Each department teachesone or more sections of ENGR 1110 and students are encouraged to take the section offered bythe program they believe they want to major in. Total semester enrollments approximate 500students, but individual sections vary from 20 to 130 students depending on the semester anddiscipline. An overarching aim of ENGR 1110 is to increase the likelihood students will remaininterested in engineering while taking predominantly math, science, and general curriculumcourses. Research
