General Engineering (EG-UY)

In this course the notion of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship (i2e) is introduced to the students’ educational experience. Students will be exposed to elements of a research-intensive institution and diverse research performed by leading engineers, scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs.

This course introduces selected aspects of the history, philosophy, methodology, tools, and contemporary topics in engineering. Also included are basic engineering experimentation, data analysis, and a team-design project. This course will provide an understanding of what professional engineers do. In this context, an emphasis will be placed on developing oral and written communication skills. EG1004 is a survey course that introduces students to NYU Tandon academic opportunities, professional and career development, and teamwork skills. Design and project management skills are developed throughout a semester-long design project. Disciplines within engineering will be introduced during lecture, and explored through practice in laboratory assignments.

Expanded version of the course EG-UY 1001: Engineering and Technology Forum. Restricted to students in the NUS program and not available to all students. Course will not appear in semester-by-semester printed schedule.

This course is a required course for all Engineering Peer Mentors that support EG-UY 1004 Introduction and Engineering and Design. EG Peer Mentors contribute to the success of EG-UY 1004 through recitation assistance, laboratory facilitation, project mentorship, and collaboration with faculty on first-year engineering curriculum development. Through this course, peer mentors will explore research-based methods of peer instruction, learning how to facilitate learning and engage students in scientific discourse. Topics will include learning theories, principles of inclusive mentorship, and professional communication. This course will be limited to undergraduate student workers (peer mentors) that support EG-UY 1004. | Prerequisites: EG-UY 1004

This course introduces students to the fundamental professional and self-assessment skills essential to pursuing a careers across a range of professions and industries. Students will engage in self-assessments of their interests, skills, and values and learn how to communicate their experiences and accomplishments and pursue professional opportunities. Additionally, students will engage in career research, develop community building skills, and cultivate professional networks related to their professions and industries of interest. Students will learn to evaluate their emerging career-related skills by using the nationally recognized career-readiness competency assessment developed by the National Association of Colleges & Employers (NACE). Course will emphasize responsible and ethical use of AI tools in career planning. Potential fees for assessment tools such as Clifton Strengths for students; most assessment tools will be free. |Prerequisites: EG-UY 1004 or permission from instructor

Pre-Capstone Innovation Experience course is designed for our undergraduate engineering students is aimed at preparing them for capstone/senior design projects with the following goals: 1) to provide students with multidisciplinary engineering prototyping tools spanning biological engineering to circuit design; 2) to expose student to customer discovery process and Lean Launchpad methods; 3) to facilitate E-team formation around multidisciplinary groups; and 4) to prepare students for innovative capstone prototypes and understand the process to transform ideas into commercial ventures. | Prerequisite: Permission from adviser.
