This course includes lectures, seminars, and activities to introduce engineering students to various engineering practices, historical developments in various field of engineering and current industrial practices delivered by researchers on campus and practicing engineers.The course will introduce students to emerging technologies and trends, engineering ethics, engineering communication tools, and metrology. Also, students will be introduced to and be able to apply the principles of the engineering design process to a case study or project.

This is an introductory course in computer aided graphics and design for engineers. This course will introduce students to modelling techniques for engineering parts and assemblies, and its application to real life engineering problems using a computer aided design (CAD) software. It will familiarize students with 3-D solid modelling and conventions of 2-D graphical representation of engineering components. As part of the course, there will be a group design project that will produce a drawing package of an appealing, functional, and marketable mechanism or device.

This is a foundational course that plays an important role in preparing students in understanding of science, engineering, and mathematics.Students are introduced to concepts of limits and continuity of a function of a single variable as well as differentiation of trigonometric functions and their inverses, exponential and logarithmic functions, basic concepts on Leibnitz’s rule, trapezium and Simpson rules, Rolle’s Theorem, introduction to differentiation and integration of vector functions, systems of equations, inequalities, vectors, and matrices.
