How Do I Get Started with Engineering?
"Sign up for ENGR 010, Introduction to Engineering," to get an in-depth exploration of all the engineering possibilities. Explore our webpage on the various industries engineers play in our society. We provide both lecture and hands-on experience to see if engineering is right for you!
Welcome to ENGR 18!
ENGR 18: Engineering Design Graphics offers invaluable skills to the students pursuing engineering careers. In this course you will learn spatial visualization and sketching, how to construct engineering drawings in 2D, dimensioning, tolerancing, and 3D solid modeling and assembly using SolidWorks software. You will also learn the design process, how to design a solid part and 3D print it so you take the design idea from a vision and a concept to an object your hold in your hand!

Careers
As a civil engineer, you'll help build the backbone of society by designing and constructing infrastructure projects like bridges, roads, and skyscrapers. With a focus on sustainability, you'll leave a lasting impact on communities, shaping environments that improve lives.
Structural Engineering
Structural engineering is a branch of civil engineering that involves the application of the laws of physics, mathematics and empirical knowledge to safely design the "bones" and load bearing elements of man-made structures. Modern day structural engineering provides a large and detailed body of knowledge that can accurately predict the performance of different shapes and materials used in structures to resist loads and stresses on structures. The principles of structural engineering were used thousands of years ago when building structures like the pyramids in Egypt or the Acropolis in Greece.
As a mechanical engineer, you're the mastermind behind creating the machines and devices that drive our world forward. Your work blends innovation and precision to design products that shape industries from automotive to aerospace. Join the future of technology and bring your engineering vision to life!

Stem Tutoring
STEM Tutoring and other essential student learning services are available at either the Math and Science Resource Center (MSRC, MS-112; for Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics) or the Biology Skills and Tutoring Lab (AF-164; for Human Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Earth Science). Please check below for hours.
Tutoring at both centers is provided by Math and Science faculty, classified professionals and student tutors. The sole purpose of STEM tutoring is to provide extra, outside classroom assistance and guidance so students will become independent learners, and to succeed.
