Transforming Ideas to Innovation#

ENGR 133 covers the following topics during the semester:

  • Data analytics (calculations, descriptive statistics, histograms, probability, charts, and regression).

  • Academic integrity and ethics.

  • Communication (reports, peer review, and information literacy).

  • Teaming (team dynamics, team member roles, diversity, and code of cooperation).

  • Team projects (modeling and design).

  • Excel basics (calculations, importing data, relational operators, plotting data).

  • Python basics (scripts, data types, importing data, relational operators, logical operators, plotting data, user-defined functions, selection structures, while loops, for loops, and nested loops).

  • MATLAB basics (calculations, scripts, importing data, publishing code, relational operators, logical operators, plotting data, user-defined functions, selection structures, while loops, for loops, and nested loops).

  • Overview of engineering majors offered by Purdue University.
