EGR 150 gives incoming Princeton freshmen a hands-on introduction to the principles of engineering. In lab, students learn MATLAB, soldering, and PCB assembly when they construct an accelerometer board, which they then use to explore the kinematics of elevators and drones. The students then take the lead by proposing and carrying out creative final projects.
