Engineering as a Vocation and Baylor’s Engineering Program EGR 1301 Introduction to Engineering Lecture 2

Common Engineering Key Words  Knowledge of, and interest in, mathematics and the natural sciences  Interest in computers and/or technology  Design  Creativity  Practical problem solving

Why do you want be an engineer?  Interested in creating things  Enjoy problem solving  Good at math and science  Want to know how things work  Financial reasons  Not sure yet

How Does Engineering Differ from Math and Science?  Scientist seek _____________________.  Engineers apply _____________________ in order to _____________________________.  Take time and consider why you would like to be an engineering major rather than a physics, math or biology, or chemistry major…

What is Engineering? “The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, construction, and operation of efficient and economical structures, equipment, and systems.” American Heritage Dictionary

What is Engineering?  Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) – “The profession in which knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with judgment to develop ways to use, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.”

What is engineering?  What is the difference between being a mechanical engineer and being a mechanic?  How does engineering technology differ from engineering?

Why study engineering?  To be a professional engineer  To be a lawyer  To be a business consultant for a prestigious consulting firm like McKinsey Inc.  To be a biomedical engineer  To be a doctor/dentist  To be able to use my God-given gifts and talents to serve others in the best possible way

The Origins of Engineering  Latin in generare  Engine  Ingenious  200 AD  Roman attack on Carthaginians using an ingenious invention ( ingenium )  1200s the ingeniator  Battering rams, assault towers, etc.

The Engineering Disciplines  Civil Engineering  Electrical and Computer Engineering  Mechanical Engineering  Chemical Engineering  Industrial Engineering  Biomedical Engineering  Nuclear Engineering, Agricultural Engineering…

What is the difference between a “job/work” and a “vocation”? Job (American Heritage Dictionary) A regular activity performed in exchange for payment; especially a trade, occupation, or profession. A position in which one is employed Work (American Heritage Dictionary) Physical or mental effort or activity directed toward the production or accomplishment of something Employment; Job

What is the difference between a “job/work” and a “vocation”? Vocation – originally, a Christian concept  A calling to undertake a certain kind of work as a service to God and mankind.  Selected based on how I can best serve rather strictly on pay or personal enjoyment  Assumes greatest satisfaction and fulfillment in one’s work comes from being exactly where God want you to be.

The Baylor Engineering Program and You

Mission Statement The Mission of the Department of Engineering is to educate students, within a caring Christian environment, in the discipline of engineering, by combining a strong technical foundation with an emphasis on professional, moral, ethical and leadership development.

Accreditation ABET – Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology  Programs are accredited, not schools  All three engineering programs at Baylor are accredited

Curriculum Summary (see page in 2003/2004 catalog)  Humanities & Social Sci Sem Hrs  Math & Science32 Sem Hrs  Engineering Topics67 Sem Hrs  Other 19 Sem Hrs  Min Req Total 136 Sem Hrs

Engineering Majors  Electrical and Computer Engineering  Mechanical Engineering  Engineering  All three are identical the first three semesters

Upper Division Admission  Required before taking any engineering course beyond the sophomore year - EGR 3000 or above  Application should be made during the sophomore spring semester.

Engineering Upper Division  Declare a Major  Electrical & Computer Engineering  Mechanical Engineering  Engineering  Mechanical Design  Computer Systems  Fluids and Thermal Energy  Biomechanics  Electronics  Signal Processing

Requirements for Admission to Engineering Upper Division QPA of 2.25 or better in the following courses:  From the 46 hours of engineering, math, sciences, and computer science  Total hours attempted used in calculation  Only Baylor courses used, no transfers

Admission to Engineering Upper Division  Unconditional  Conditional  (at department’s discretion)  Denied
