Engineering and Technologies Across the Curriculum Courses

Technology and Engineering connects a STEM focus with a strong academic foundation rooted in the knowledge used to solve complex problems. One goal of the courses within this department is to provide an opportunity for students to utilize their knowledge across all disciplines both inside and outside the scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical realms. Students will gain experience to intuitively leverage existing resources to accomplish tasks independently using STEM techniques. A focus of the courses will be to emphasize independent thinking and problem solving while integrating real world issues with theories.NOTE: Students may contribute to a consumable materials fund for project supplies that are not reusable.
