EGR 1010: Introduction to Engineering for Engineers and Scientists

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

This course is a two semester Introduction to Engineering that is based on two courses that was taught at Prince George's Community College: Computer Programming for Engineers & Scientists and Introductory Engineering. This course assumes a remix of the two for better flow.
