Introduction to Engineering Design and Software Development
The goal of this course is to provide an introductory course in concepts in computer science and engineering, and its applications. While there will be some introductory programming taught, the bulk of the course will concentrate on examining and solving problems, focusing primarily on understanding and replicating how engineers approach problem-solving.
