COURSES TAUGHT AT MERCER UNIVERSITY

EGR 107: Introduction to Engineering Design

Prerequisite: Be a fully admitted student in the School of Engineering or have written permission from the dean.

Systematic procedures for engineering design.  Student teams pursue design projects that incorporate problem identification, information gathering, development of alternative solutions, merit analyses, decision presentation, implementation, testing, and redesign.  Students practice skills in preparing and presenting a variety of engineering-related written and oral reports.

 

EGR 126: Introduction to Problem Solving
Prerequisite: Be a fully admitted student in the School of Engineering or have written permission from the dean.
Special attention is given to development of an organized thought process in which analysis, modeling, and construction of algorithms lead to structured procedures for solving non-trivial problems. A focus on data objects in the problem domain, and the development of abstract models of these objects then leads to the use of object-oriented programming techniques with a high-level language such as C++.
