They reiterated the interest in a course covering all fields ofengineering and technology, which they felt would be particularly useful for first-yearengineering students. They also reiterated the concern that a course offered by a singleassociation might be biased towards that association’s fields of interest.At the same time, they were sanguine about student interest in history, and suggested that such acourse should be required, but there is no longer any space in the curriculum. Having such acourse also fulfill the university’s general education requirement was proposed as a solution.On the

Students are required to take 14 semester credits ofhonors classes as well as write a thesis.

A unified approach to energy transfer in thermal and mechanical systems is presented. The course covers basic properties of fluids, fluid statics, simplified analyses of fluid motion, the basic laws of thermodynamics, and the application of control volume techniques to engineering problems. Power systems are introduced through a study of the Rankine cycle. Format: Lecture 3 hours, lab/tutorial 3 hours.The course is a fairly typical one for introductory engineering, and a comparable coursecan be found in almost every engineering program in North America.The syllabus
