This is an introductory course on the basic understanding of engineering knowledge and associated technologies information science. It encourages students’ appreciation of the multidisciplinary nature of engineering, through the lens of information science, and a wide variety of its applications. It also develops students’ ability in applying analytical and computational tools to solve practical engineering problems. Modern topics in engineering and information science, such as machine learning and data science, will be introduced. Upon completion of the course, students are able to:
identify the basic knowledge and technologies related to engineering and information science;
recognize and explore multiple fields of engineering and information science;
discuss engineering design process and how to apply it for designing and developing engineering solution;
use various software tools for engineering simulation and analysis.
