Post 1: Introduction

Welcome to ENGR 193: Engineering Seminar

This course is designed for students interested in engineering... whether you are already set on pursuing a degree in engineering, or if you just have an inkling that engineering might be for you.  Or perhaps you want more information on what engineering is all about, and are interested in topics such as energy, infrastructure, technology, and sustainability.

The goal of the course is to explore the field through discussion, articles, and guest speakers.  We are fortunate to have a number of practicing engineers who are willing to come into the classroom to share their experiences with you, the prospective engineer.

As part of the course, we will be using this blog to facilitate discussion about the speakers and the engineering topics they share with us.

To start, please post a comment with a bit of background about yourself, where you are from, and what interests or questions you have about engineering.  Include a link to an article about engineering, with a brief summary of what you found interesting.
