ENGR 1201 Intro to Engineering:
1201 is a required class for all disciplines of ENGRing


1201 group projects - through the semester, you will work in a team, invent, and make something!

 Pest Deterrent:  If you step on the table, this shoots a water bottle (with a satisfying loud sound) to scare critters like wild pigs off of your yard.


The "decision maker" - sort of an electronic spin the bottle game. Write choices on the sticky notes, then press the button, the pointer lands on a random choice.


Retractable extension chord that is installed inside your wall (instead of a normal wall outlet)


Home-made solar phone charger.

Hydrogen fuel cell - don't light a match near it!

Not your average bike tire! This thing is filled with a durable, yet light-weight foam instead of air - ie - it will never go flat.

This is an air-conditioning/cooler unit for your tent / soccer game / tailgate party / picnic - just add ice (or water although ice works better) and charge it in the sun! Turn on the fan, then remove end-caps from pvc pipes to direct the flow of the cold air. It works surprisingly well - I want one!

 Toy steam engine - the little piston was made in our 3-D printer. In the future, they want to expand it into a builder-set type toy that you could use the little engine to power a boat / train / etc. You activate the pistons with air (balloon, or just blow into it) water, or steam.

 Is your garage cluttered? Are you tired of replacing lawn tools after the handle breaks off? Then this is for you! One handle fits multiple attachments, each attachment is small to store and cheap to replace when worn out. The handle is also adjustable - small to store, and has multiple lengths so granny (or dad) can comfortably use it. - But that is not all!! It also has a built in yard-stick so you can measure how far apart to plant those new apple trees you just bought, or measure the length of that big fish you just caught! The starter kit with handle, and two attachments can be yours for only $35!!!


Baseball cannon!  Pressurize it up with a bike-tire pump, practice catching some fly-balls.



















hydroelectric generator!
other 1201 Labs:  Test car tire traction, write a computer program and take a computer apart, learn the basics of electrical circuits, and end the semester with a mousetrap car race!








1201 Textbook: recommended not required – any edition of Oakes, William C., Leone, Les L., and Gunn, Craig J. Engineering Your Future –A Comprehensive Introduction to Engineering, Oxford University Press.

COURSE MATERIALS (Required):
Gardner, J. N. & Barefoot, B. O. (2012). Your College Experience: Two Year College Edition. 10th Edition. Bedford/St. Martin’s. ISBN: 978-1-319-3264-7
COURSE GOAL:
The goal of this class is to transform students’ academic behaviors and create a learning environment to integrate students into a collegiate environment, ensure college readiness, enhance overall performance in college courses, and facilitate successful completion of a degree or certificate.
COURSE OVERVIEW:
This course serves as the Lone Star College (LSC) first-year experience student success course. It is designed to provide first-year students with an opportunity to attain maximum success in college and in life. It will assist students in realizing their full potential by facilitating activities that promote effective learning and personal and professional growth. This course aims to achieve this goal by helping new students connect with LSC resources and promote a positive and successful college experience that leads to completion. At Lone Star College System (LSCS), our data reveals that this course has been successful in increasing student success.
CATALOG COURSE DESCRIPTION:
A study of the: research and theory in the psychology of learning, cognition, and motivation; factors that impact learning, and application of learning strategies. Theoretical models of strategic learning, cognition, and motivation serve as the conceptual basis for the introduction of college-level student academic strategies. Students use assessment instruments (e.g., learning inventories) to help them identify their own strengths and weaknesses as strategic learners. Students are ultimately expected to integrate and apply the learning skills discussed across their own academic programs and become effective and efficient learners. Students developing these skills should be able to continually draw from the theoretical models they have learned.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
SLO1. Students in the college success course will be able to identify, describe, and utilize campus support services, systems, and student life opportunities.
SLO2. Students in the college success course will be able to use financial literacy knowledge and skills to create a personal money management plan for college success.
SLO3. Students in the college success course will be able to establish collegial relationships with LSCS faculty, staff, and peers.
SLO4. Students in the college success course will be able to assess and report on their strengths, preferences, and college and career success attributes.
SLO5. Students in the college success course will be able to formulate educational goals, career goals and apply strategies to advance their goals and college performance.
SLO6. Students in the college success course will be able to create an academic plan and identify the requirements for successful completion of their academic plan.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Students will:
1. Identify, discuss, and evaluate learning and study strategies as they apply to the academic environment.
2. Examine personal goals and career plans, utilize college resources including all components of the LSCS student portal and learning management system (D2L), and apply strategies for academic success.
3. Identify types of financial aid and criteria to receive and maintain funding.
4. Exhibit written and verbal communication skills individually and in groups.
5. Assess ideas, principles, and patterns related to personal life situations.
6. Design a strategy for success.
COURSE THEMES & TOPICS:
The student success course requires that students be introduced to the following themes. The themes are designed to build upon each other to support students in meeting the learning outcomes of this course.
