"I love teaching ENGR100. I think the best part of ENGR100 is that the seminars and the projects allow students to find out for themselves that although the engineering disciplines differ from each other, the overall engineering design process really remains the same and that a successful engineering project requires the contribution of multiple engineering disciplines."
