Introduction to Engineering

Introduction to Engineering

The objective of this course is to introduce engineering and prepare students for learning engineering to become an engineer of the future. This course serves to bridge pre-university education to university life and provide support for adjusting to learning and expectations in tertiary education. This introduction is made through a mix of lectures, student-centered learning activities, and presentations. This course employs Active Learning, Cooperative Learning, and Cooperative Problem-based Learning (CPBL). Through CPBL, students are not only exposed to frontier chemical engineering-related issues but are also equipped with other important professional skills such as communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and life-long learning. CPBL is utilized to inculcate sustainability development among first-year engineering students to foster environmentally responsible behaviours and provide a strong foundation for more sustainable societies.
