Course Description: 

This course operates mainly through guest speakers who come from a wide variety of different engineering backgrounds. As a UofA Honors course, it is intended that these speakers provide advanced talks about specific research areas or applications in engineering. Throughout the year these talks also provide ranges of different advice about how to survive in school and what skills might be needed for engineers in the real world.

The first semester is usually conducted primarily in a large lecture format, while the second semester is usually a smaller enrollment (thus allowing laboratory visits and other fun activities).

None.

Dunbar P. Birnie, III, Associate Professor

I'm deeply indebted to many local engineers and UofA faculty who are spirited contributors of specific interesting lectures. These bold and noble folk come from private industry as well as many different departments in the College of Engineering and Mines.

None.

Broad exposure to various engineering professions. What do different kinds of Engineers DO? What kinds of skills are required of engineers when they reach the "real world"? (Visit my Engineering Careers Webpage).

Regular homeworks (writing and thinking assignments). Class participation, when applicable.
