The field of structural engineering is introduced through a study of the methods of structural analysis and design of steel structures using the Load and Resistance Factor Design Method. Previously CEN 308.

Introduction to engineering and computing with emphasis on development of problem solving skills through projects. The course is designed to increase the success of first year students. It includes an overview of majors in the college, and the importance of engaged learning. Team work, written and oral communication skills are covered. Ethical issues in engineering and computing are discussed.
