EGR Group Activity #1 Introduce yourself and learn each others –Name –Home town –Major Each group will come forward and one of you will introduce the other 3 group members, providing the 3 pieces of information.
EGR In-Class Activity #1 Using the internet, work in pairs to find an example of an electrically-based device that is either used or developed by engineers/scientists, in each of your majors. ELE and CPE majors – find an example of a device with a non-electrical component that is used or developed by engineers in your majors.
