Quotes of the Week:
to reflect on Service-learning, especially leading by example {Be, Know, Do}:
|
to reflect on oral presentations, especially as you prepare and give your Midterm Oral Presentations (Lecture 8):
"You’ve got to be believed to be heard."
"...you have to reach 'the heart of the mind' and win the emotional trust of your listeners. Having mistakes, being sloppy, reading off your slides, won't do that... You are selling, often yourself."
-(both) Bert Decker, Public speaking expert, CEO Decker Communications Inc., Author: The Purpose Driven Life
"According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy."
- Jerry Seinfeld, American television actor & comedian

Engineering 100 is an introduction
to the practice of engineering as a
multidisciplinary, team-driven profession. This
two-unit course provides instruction in skills
and knowledge common to a broad range of
professional careers, and provides unique
preparation for participation in the UCSD TIES
program and other team project environments. We
aim to prepare UCSD undergraduates to provide
exceptional service to their community, their
employers, and themselves through this
class.
In the
first class, teams of five students are
formed. Each team will later be assigned a
non-profit community client to work with
for the team project. The team will meet
with the client, assess their needs, and decide
on one high priority need for the team
project. The final project will include
detailed specification of a technical solution
that will fill this need, as well as a
preliminary cost analysis.
While
there is a lecture component, each class also
includes team discussion and brainstorming on
featured topics, with team members reporting to
the class. There is also a mid-quarter design
review, and final project presentation. The
class focus is on participatory,
interactive, and collective learning.
