10 courses with the subject ENSC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ENSC 101Introduction to Engineering3
The intent of this course is to give prospective engineering students an early exposure to the engineering field to aid them in making an informed professional decision. Clarifications of what it means to be an engineer including: introduction to careers in engineering; emphases on personal and professional communication skills and engineering fundamentals; presentations from guest practitioners and other engineering field professionals. Hands-on projects that emphasize design methodology and teamwork.
ENSC 210Introduction to Computer-Aided Design and Engineering3
The goal of this course is to introduce the beginning student to basic and advanced procedures using computer-aided drawing and to enable students to be proficient in editing building and construction drawings. Introduction to the range and potential of computer aided design and electronic media in program solving and conceptual design. Beginning course for students without a calculus background. Prerequisite: ENSC 101 BLC 2026-2027 Academic Catalog 119
