Most of the courses with the designator of Engr are broad-based engineering courses applicable to all engineering disciplines. Several of these courses are part of the basic program which is required for engineering students. All courses are administered by the college and with the exception of Engr 160 and Engr 170 are coordinated through Engineering Undergraduate Programs. Course-related questions should be directed to the department or unit with responsibility for that course. The following is a list of those responsibilities:

Engr 160 Materials Science and Engineering

Engr 170 Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering
