again starting with the 2018-2019 freshman cohort. EGR-1200 would remain the same but EGR-1205 would be replaced with a course that eachdepartment would offer their students. The goal was to keep the class hands on and entertaining,but also add major-specific technical work. While departments are free to now introduce topicswhich could be required for later classes, it was hoped that the courses could still be generalenough to allow for students to transfer to other departments after freshman year. The ECEdepartment created their course, ECE-1205 which would introduce the students to Matlab as hadbeen done previously in the 7 week section of the old EGR 1205, but also introduce a new designarea specifically geared for ECE students, in which
