Christopher T. Senseney, Ph.D., P.E., M.ASCE, is an associate teaching professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. Senseney, along with several other instructors in the school of engineering, teaches GEEN1400, Engineering Projects, a 10-section course that offers freshmen an introduction to engineering through a series of projects performed in interdisciplinary teams. He teaches the section that emphasizes civil and architectural engineering. Senseney discusses with Civil Engineering his section's signature bridge project and how it is used to build the critical and professional skills students will need throughout their careers. GEEN 1400, Engineering Projects is an introduction to engineering through a series of projects completed in four- to five-person teams. The three-credit-hour course, required for all freshman engineering students at the university, operates with approximately 30 students per section. Depending on the background of the instructor, each of the approximately 10 sections of the course will emphasize one of the engineering disciplines, e.g., mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil and architectural engineering, etc. |
