River Valley Community College Intro to Engineering II (EGR 102)
This is the second semester of a two-semester sequence designed for engineering students. Topics covered this semester will include: Covered in the course are models and systems, basic programming methods using spreadsheets and MATLAB, computational techniques of approximate solutions and basic statistics for quality control. The curriculum includes integration of theory with practical in-class experiments that enhance and support concepts learned in lecture. A number of concepts within each topic will be demonstrated and sample problems discussed. These topics will be covered at a brisk pace in lectures, which is normal in engineering courses. It is an algebra-based course with incorporated classroom projects and activities. This course includes an engineering design project.

- Quality Note:
- Hezel Associates provided the 3rd party curriculum review for the AMPed NH TAACCCT grant project. Courses were reviewed for quality by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) by assessing the (1) clarity and appropriateness of learning objectives, (2) alignment of learning objectives to course activities and materials, (3) logical sequencing of course content, (4) availability of active learning opportunities, (5) use of formative feedback for students, and (6) presence of summative assessment and its alignment with course objectives. SMEs were selected based on credentials and experience in instructional and curricular design and evaluation.
- Quality of Subject Matter was assured by:
-
- Consultations during development of instructional materials
- Participation as an ongoing member of team developing the instructional materials
- SME Quality Report is posted in Skills Commons
- Quality of Online/Hybrid Course Design assured by:
