Gateway Lab

ENGI E1102: Design Fundamentals Using Advanced Computer Technologies or Gateway Lab is an introductory engineering course. Engineering students are required to take Gateway Lab one semester of their first year, and University Writing the other semester.

Jack MacGourty developed the course and continues to teach it. The course can be divided into two parts: the community service project and the Maya/MATLAB tutorials. Many engineers feel that this class would be better served if the community service projects were more explicitly engineering-focused or if a larger percentage of the course material was focused on Maya or MATLAB and not on MacGourty trying to justify the course.
