Computer Tools
ENGR111 and ENGR112 emphasize the important of
computer tools to aid in the engineer's problem solving process.
These introductory engineering courses use Microsoft Word and Excel
extensively in class work and project reports. AutoCAD is used for
the graphics portion of the course and is emphasized mainly in ENGR112.
All of the ENGR111/112 classrooms are equiped with
personal computers. Students are assigned one computer for every
two students.
WORD 
Microsoft Word is used extensively in documentation,
reports and other written assignments. Students should be able to
work efficiently within the Word environment.
Word is also used to create and edit text and graphics
in letters, reports, and Web pages
EXCEL 
Microsoft Excel is used to perform calculations, analyze information
and manage lists in spreadsheets or Web pages. Engineers use Excel
for data and graphical analysis in order to draw conclusions and
understand the design system.
POWERPOINT 
Microsoft PowerPoint is used to create and edit presentations for
slide shows, meetings, and Web pages. Powerpoint in used in ENGR111
and ENGR112 for design project presentations.
AUTOCAD
AutoCAD is a computer aided drafting tool that allows for quick
and easy manipulations of orthographic, pictorial, assembly and
working design drawings. AutoCAD is also used to analyze mass properties
and design strength of a design by providing a built-in analysis
tool.
