This is a college level dual-credit course. Students receive 3 credit hours of required UA engineering coursework. This award winning course, developed in conjunction with U of A Engineering faculty, provides students with an introduction to mathematical modeling, the engineering design process Solidworks, 3D printing, C and CNC programming. Units of study include Manufacturing, Systems, Bio-Medical, Environmental, Software and Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The course also provides students with a perspective on various engineering disciplines and educational and career opportunities, through a lecture series presenting engineering experts in the field. The course demonstrates how engineers use skills in mathematics and science to help people in a variety of global economic, environmental and societal contexts through a semester long service based project. Students will receive science credit upon passing this course. Note: Students pay an additional amount (approximately $495) for University of Arizona tuition to take this course for University credit.
